Dodd absolutely should resign. He has taken no heat at all for moving his family out of state so they can campaign full time in Iowa. I don’t think one CT Republican has even said a word about this outrage.
No one pressured Lieberman to resign in 2000 either of course. Then, as now, we have Republican governors here though the current and previous governor are “moderates.” Still they would have appointed fellow Republicans to fill the vacancy so obviously there was no clamor from the elites for these Demo senators to step down.

In 2000 Lieberman was actually running for two seats at once, don't forget - his Senate seat and the VP. It's a good thing he won the Senate seat back, actually - I can't imagine how bad it would have been to have a "Senator Giordano" scandal. It was bad enough that he was still the Mayor of Waterbury when it was revealed he had a thing for little (under 10) girls.
