Bush Refuses to Back GOP Candidate
White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said this morning that President Bush will not endorse Connecticut U.S. Senate candidate Alan Schlesinger ® over Sen. Joe Lieberman even though he's the Republican nominee.

Update: Tom Swan, Ned Lamont's (D) campaign manager, responds: "It is not surprising that Joe remains Bush’s favorite Senator, he is looking to run the exact same campaign that Bush did in 2004. Fortunately, the voters of Connecticut were smart enough to reject it then and we are confident they will again. It is alarming to see how far Joe will go, undermining every candidate across the country from his former party, to cling to his spot in Washington."

Update II: The White House released a transcript of Snow's remarks. When pressed for the reason Bush isn't supporting Schlesinger, Snow refused to answer saying, "I'm just not going to play."

Earlier: RNC chief Ken Mehlman also refused to endorse Schlesinger.

ANYONE that throws in with the Bush gang is going down!

Lamont, the anti-war candidate didn't win so much because he's anti-war,
he won because Lieberman is so Pro-Bush!

The reverse midas touch gets another one.

WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT AN ADMINISTRATION THAT WILL NOT, CAN NOT BACK A CANDIDATE OF THE SAME PARTY BUT INSTEAD BACKS A POLITICAL OPPOSITE PARTY CANDIDATE THAT HAS BEEN ABANDONED BY HIS OWN PARTY?



Could it be that this is a sign of the NeoCon foundational support system that the Administration has developed over the years is being over thrown by the people through the Democratic process and so the members of the Administration use belligerent partisan politics to sort things out?
