WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush gave a boost to Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman's re-election bid as an independent by taking the rare step of refusing to endorse the Republican candidate running for Lieberman's U.S. Senate seat.
"We are not making any endorsement in Connecticut. The Republican party of Connecticut has suggested that we not make an endorsement in that race and so we're not," said White House spokesman Tony Snow.

With only 6% in CN likely to vote GOP...this is a wise move.

The Republican candidate is lousy and is hardly a principled conservative. No surprise.

Bush again "reaching across the aisle."
If Howard Dean wants to show his good faith, then he should reciprocate and refuse to endorse Lamont.

Bush endorsed Specter over Santorum didn't he? Remember that?
Hypocritical. Endorses incumbant lefty RINO's over conservatives in primaries and now won't endorse a nominee.

This isn't breaking news, and the date on the story at the link is Tuesday August 15. Why did you change the date on the story?

Why do I see a "spit ball" speech in the 08 RNC Convention staring Joe Lieberman?

Strategically, Lieberman winning is better in that it will take away a seat from the Dems and there is a far better chance of Lieberman winning than the Republican candidate.. still, I'm not happy about this blanket giving up on Republican candidates...
