The Connecticut senate duel between Democratic Senator Lieberman and the Democrat's anti-war nominee Ned Lamont has bruised Senator Lieberman his colleague and friend, Senator Christopher Dodd.
Dodd, like Senator Biden chose political expediency over friendship and supports Lamont:
"Look, I understand that people are playing by a partisan political playbook," Lieberman said at a campaign stop. "You know why it is disappointing in Chris' case? Because we're friends. But life will go on. We'll work together because that's our job, to work together for the people of Connecticut."[. . .]
"As people said to me, 'How could people have said on Monday of one week in August that you were one of the great senators in American history, Tuesday, you lose the primary by three-and-a-half points, and Wednesday they support your opponent?'" said Lieberman.
I hope the 2008 presidential bids of both Biden and Dodd are short-lived.
