Rove Offers Help to Lieberman

[Dob Bole]

Aha, I knew it!
---------------------------------
A "close Lieberman adviser" told George Stephanopoulos that Karl Rove "reached out to the Lieberman camp with a message straight from the Oval Office: 'The boss wants to help. Whatever we can do, we will do.'"

"The White House might help Lieberman by putting the kibosh on any move to replace the weak Republican candidate, Alan Schlesinger, with a stronger candidate. And it might be able to convince Schlesinger to drop out of the race and endorse Lieberman in the final week or two, when it's too late for another candidate to fill the GOP slot. A quiet White House effort to steer some money in Lieberman's direction is another possibility.

3. The Republican party supported Nader, remember?

There is no such thing as "too low" to a Republican. They have the money to help muddy the waters and they will use millions to do it.
