I supported you as the Democratic Party's nominee for Vice President of the United States six years ago. However, I am deeply disturbed to find you openly contemplating an Independent run for U.S. Senate this year. As you well know, Democrats are on the cusp of reclaiming the congress for the first time in over a decade. Your threats seriously undermine the progress of the national party towards that goal, again.
Ned Lamont has already pledged to support the winner of the Democratic primary this August, whoever it may be. President Clinton, Senators John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Russ Feingold and more have done the same. I hope you'll follow their example.
