This article in the NYT indicates that Reid and Schumer will make a statement in support of Lamont. Chris Dodd will also appear with Lamont in a unity press conference to express his support. Dodd is also in charge of talking to Lieberman to get him out of the race. Hillary is already on record to support Lamont. John Edwards was one of the first politicians to call Lamont and congratulate him. The Lamont team will also mount an aggressive strategy to call for Joe to respect the will of the voters and quit his independent bid. Lamont is prepared to go to several networks to make his case. Lamont will also call upon prominent Democrats to publicly do the same.
It appears that the Democratic Party has made its decision to back Lamont and to show that support quickly. We all should follow up with letters and calls to our respective Senators and members of Congress to remind them to move quickly to support Ned.
