Common ground for Dodd, Lieberman?

Posted: Tuesday, October 23, 2007 11:08 AM by Domenico Montanaro

From NBC’s Domenico Montanaro
Dodd has moved his wife and daughters to a house in Iowa, where they will live through the January caucuses. The move reminded us of another Connecticut senator: Joe Lieberman. Despite single-digit showings in the polls, Lieberman rented an apartment with his wife in New Hampshire before the primary there in 2004.

Dodd and Lieberman have been on the outs since Dodd campaigned for Ned Lamont, Lieberman’s opponent in the 2006 Senate race. Maybe Lieberman can recommend a mover.

If Chris Dodd is moving to Iowa, does that mean he cannot represent the people of Connecticut?

Allied van lines
Leiberman sold his soul to the devil. He is no longer credible.
Talk about insignificant..Lie berman who?
It can be argued that Dodd's entire campaign has been to set right the embarassment that CT has had to face with Joe Lieberman representing us in the national media over the last several years.
dumb premise for a story.
{Dodd has moved his wife and daughters to a house in Iowa}

Why is Dodd punishing his family like this?
SINCE UNCLE JOE'S RE-ELECTION, I SUGGEST HE MOVE CLOSER TO HIS REAL CONSTITUENCY....THE REPUBLICAN SENATOR FROM ISRAEL.
They can get real corn in Iowa instead of the canned stuff in Connecticut
Just think VICE PRESIDENT LIEBERMAN makes you cringe almost as much as CHEYNEY
Lieberman's on the outs with just about everyone. Once the Dems increase their Senate majority, he's going to be less significant than he ever dreamed.
Who cares about Joe Lieberman....He is a Bush clone with the same holier than thou attitude... Joe is a disgrace to the Senate
Why is this newsworthy???
jerry/corpus christi texas- 99% of all corn grown in Iowa is "sweet corn" or "popcorn", it is fed corn, used for bio-fuels, corn sweetner, and to fed animals. So Chris will have to eat corn from a can in Iowa also.
Lieberman is a useless old man piece of poop.
