Pres. Bush's refused to endorse the GOP candidate in Connecticut. His silence was a tacit endorsement for Lieberman. Between that and the Pres. and VP going around praising Lieberman's WOT record didn't help the GOP in Connecticut at all.
And don't try to claim that Lieberman didn't get a lot of high-level GOP support.
"Lieberman has raised $15.6 million, drawing substantial support from out-of-state sources — particularly from financial service executives in New York City and lobbyists. Lieberman has continued to raise funds in the waning days of the campaign, including a $12,100 contribution from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a Republican, and $5,000 from former Sen. Alfonse D'Amato, R-N.Y." From Senate race: Shrill, nasty, expensive
Like I said, Bush did not support him. WTF is up with you guys making $hit up on this thread?
Some of these Freepers have short memories when it comes to the tacit GOP support of Lieberman. It was not that long ago, when they were saying Lieberman would be better than Lamont.
Unfortunately, Lieberman came out today and said he will be voting for the democrats.
Then they bring up the reason no support was given to Lieberman's GOP candidate...that he could not win.
They blame Savage for not supporting the GOP candidate and giving to Moonbeam. The GOP canndidate against moonbeam did not have a chance of winning either. He lost by about as much as Liebermans GOP candidate.
