(2006-08-07) — President George Bush today announced that if he is chosen in tomorrow’s Connecticut primary as the Democrat candidate for the U.S. Senate, he will not run.
The pullout sent shock waves through the campaign of senatorial candidate Ned Lamont, who has mounted vigorous opposition to Mr. Bush.
“We’re not really sure what Ned should say in his stump speech now,” said one unnamed adviser. “Without George Bush to kick around, our momentum is gone.”
Democrat strategists said the withdrawal of Mr. Bush could leave an opening for incumbent Sen. Joe Lieberman to mount an 11th-hour campaign.
“Natures hates a vacuum,” said one anonymous source. “With Bush out, the Connecticut senate seat is back in play.”
