Et tu, Dodd?
I somehow missed this bit in Kevin Rennie's column over the weekend:
Chris Dodd, that "ultimate party loyalist," won't commit to the lowest bar of loyalty - supporting the party's candidate in November. Need any more evidence that Lieberman is planning on cutting and running from the party?
As unacceptable as it is for Sen. Lieberman to refuse to say whether he will support the Democrat in November, it's equally unacceptable for Sen. Dodd to do so.
Ask Sen. Dodd why he won't commit to supporting the Democratic party's candidate for senate in November:
Washington Office: (202) 224-2823
Connecticut Office: (860) 258-6940
(HT: LarryInNYC.)
It hasn't taken Lamont long to unnerve the Democratic establishment. Dodd, a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee and ultimate party loyalist, refuses to give an unqualified answer to whether he will support the Democratic nominee, no matter who it is.

I just called Dodd's Connecticut office. A staffer there DID say that Dodd would support the winner of the Democratic primary.
However, she refused to answer questions about whether Dodd would support Lieberman if he ran as an independent or as a Republican. She said that just wasn't going to happen and that they hadn't heard anything about a non-Dem run by Lieberman.
So what's going on?

Hi all from Germany,
I would like to know if Ned has already announced how he would behave if Lieberman won the primary and would be the Democratic candidate in November. Any statements?
Just curious,
Urs
