You are a kind and forgiving man. It takes a good man to forgive one who had
scolded,
berated, and
chastised you, and come to his assistance in his time of need.
You are doing an admirable thing for Senator Lieberman, Mr. President, and I applaud you for your decision and your commitment to supporting the candidate of your choice in this primary election. And I also applaud you for announcing that you intend to support the winner of the Democratic primary in Connecticut next month.
Mr. President, you obviously recognize the importance of keeping this seat in Connecticut in Democratic control. I hope that your commitment will bring you back to Connecticut following the primary and you will continue to work to keep this seat by campaigning again for the Democratic candidate, no matter whom it might be. Know that if the Democratic voters of Connecticut choose Joe Lieberman as their nominee, we as Democrats will follow your lead and support him.
However, in the event that the people of Connecticut choose Ned Lamont as their candidate on August 8, I hope you will use your considerable influence with Senator Lieberman, witnessed by your presence in the state next week, to urge the Senator to change his mind about betraying the Democratic party and the Democratic voters of Connecticut. If Senator Lieberman loses this primary, I hope you will help him make the decision to recognize and accept the will of the Connecticut voters and bow out as graciously as his years of service and the dignity of the Senate seat deserves.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Democrat
