HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Some Connecticut Democrats think Sen. Joe Lieberman's Washington colleagues let him off the hook. Now, they say, it's time for them to move forward with a possible censure by the state party.
The U.S. Senate's Democratic caucus voted 42-13 yesterday to condemn statements Lieberman made while supporting Republican John McCain in the presidential race. But the senators allowed him to remain chairman of the Homeland Security Committee.
Two members of Connecticut's Democratic state central committee, Audrey Blondin and Myrna Watanabe, still plan to ask the state's top Democrats to consider a resolution repudiating Lieberman for publicly backing McCain.
It would also ask him to resign from the party.
Lieberman's Connecticut critics say he's hurt state Democrats by not helping party candidates further down the ticket.
