| Description | "Sen. Chris Dodd says he's confident that fellow Democrat and Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal "will be OK" in his bid for the U.S. Senate.
Dodd spoke to reporters Monday in Hartford about the controversy over Blumenthal's misstatements about his military record. Blumenthal is running to replace Dodd, who is retiring.
Dodd says voters know Blumenthal well and will take into account his accomplishments over the years.
Blumenthal has said on several occasions that he served in Vietnam but in fact served stateside as a member of the Marine Reserve during the Vietnam era.
Blumenthal apologized in an e-mail sent late Sunday to the Hartford Courant.
Dodd says he believes the controversy has been "blown out of proportion." |
