Joe Lieberman, stinging from his loss to an anti-war challenger in the Democratic primary, filed petitions Wednesday to get on the November ballot as an independent, while national Democrats came out in support of the primary winner instead.
In a written statement issued in Washington, two top Senate Democrats said they "fully support" the Democratic nominee, Ned Lamont.
"The perception was that (Lieberman) was too close to George Bush and this was, in many respects, a referendum on the president more than anything else," said Sens. Harry Reid of Nevada and Chuck Schumer of New York, the party's leader and the head of its campaign committee.
Connecticut Democrats gathered for a late-morning rally in Hartford to complete the unity portrait.
Lieberman had other ideas.
