Loser Lieberman has formally jumped the Democratic ship and announced he's going to run as an indy in November.
Crooks and Liars reports that Hillary has cut Ned a $5000 campaign check. Kos reports that Evan Bayh has announced his support for Ned. Marc Ambinder for The Hotline reports "We also hear that Sen. Chris Dodd has been tasked by his collegues with trying to convince Lieberman to not mount an independent bid."
update:
Kos calls attention to this quote of Rahm Emanuel, reported by Adam Nagourney in the NY Times: “This shows what blind loyalty to George Bush and being his love child means,” said Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, the leader of the Democratic House Congressional campaign. “This is not about the war. It’s blind loyalty to Bush.”
