Connecticut Senators Stick Together

Sen. Joe Lieberman's presidential campaign has won the backing of fellow Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd, who announced two weeks ago that he would not make his own run for the White House.

Dodd and Lieberman scheduled a joint news conference Monday and will announce the endorsement, according to the Lieberman campaign.

Dodd announced March 3 he would stay out of the presidential race to remain in the Senate and battle President Bush's agenda.

Lieberman, who was Al Gore's running mate in 2000, is one of nine Democrats vying for the presidential nomination next year.
