WASHINGTON - Sen. Christopher Dodd said Thursday time has helped heal the hurt feelings with his Connecticut counterpart, Sen. Joe Lieberman, whose independent bid for re-election last year bruised their longtime friendship.

After losing the 2006 Democratic primary to anti-war challenger Ned Lamont, Lieberman defied party leaders and ran as an independent in the general election to hang onto his seat. The move rankled Democrats who questioned the three-term senator's party loyalty.

Lieberman has said his feelings were hurt by Dodd, a longtime friend who campaigned for Lamont in the general election and filmed a campaign commercial with him.

So how about it?

Anyone here from Connecticut?

Their terms of office are set by the constitution. Thye can only be removed by being expelled.

Not that I am counting or anything.

But....by befriending LIEberman he may loose my vote next time he runs for office here in CT.

As for President.....my vote goes to DK.

but he is seeking to feather his nest before he leaves office.

I think it's silly to hold the fact that him and Liberman are personal friends against Dodd. Lieberman has been working with Dodd for some twenty years in the senate now...

It's not Dodd's fault that Lieberman is a fucking warmongering ass hole.

I mean, it's not like he's shutting down investigations of the administration or authoring sub rosa declarations of war against other countries.. is it?

:shrug:

is always whinging about something. Since lieman got back in the senate through the back door he's been nothing but a traitor to the Democrats, Americans, and Connecticutians.

Warmongers are the most hypocritical, bloodthirsty, cowards on the Planet.

Sorry, Chris. Joe still sucks, and always will.

feelings, or is he saying he and liarman have like kissed & made up. If he's trying to say anything positive about liarman, my opinion of him will take a big hit.

and it listed 2800 troops KIA. That was ONE year ago.... And now 1000 more troops dead..... I wounder how JOE LIEberman sleeps at night???

together with Biden, while Hillary voted for it, and Obama found himself AWOL on the vote.

Let's hope there is another challenge to Holy Joe in 2012.

Fuckkk Joe Lieberman. 5 more years of that bastard...god...

LIARman is a repuke who continues to hold the majority by hostage with is new "Independent" status, which was support by quite a few Dems even after the fact that WE rejected his repuke ass.

He deserves nothing but condemnation. From us, the nation, and the Democratic Party.

Fuck you LIARman. You warmongering asshole. You bring shame to me and my state. No amount of time can ever heal that!

If I were Dodd (or Clinton, Boxer, or any other Dem), I would have campaigned for him on the condition that he withdraw if he lost the nomination. I still can't believe how Lieberman betrayed our party, and how we stayed silent once Lamont was the candidate.

if he lost the nomination. He lied to his fellow party members and ran as an independent instead.

some committees, not kiss and make up. I like Chris Dodd, but I don't like this at all.

Hasn't healed for lots of folks. I suspect there will be more mails from Ned Lamont. He still works closely with DFA and other groups, and is active for other Democrats.

There is no getting over Lieberman yet.
