CHRIS DODD UPDATE: Lieberman: Dodd Will Eventually Win Re-Election.

Joe Lieberman predicted Tuesday that voters will re-elect his beleaguered fellow Connecticut senator, Christopher Dodd, for the same reasons he attributes to his own comeback victory.

Lieberman said he thinks Dodd, the Senate banking chairman buffeted by controversies about Wall Street bonuses and home mortgages, has enough time until next year’s election to rebound from low approval ratings. . . .Dodd has slipped for several reasons: his role in writing a bill that protected bonuses for executives at bailed-out insurer American International Group Inc.; his initial refusal to release documents about his two controversial mortgages with Countrywide Financial Corp.; and his financing of a vacation cottage in Ireland.
