Two Questions Regarding Connecticut

Given that we know the President has disavowed the GOP Nominee for Senate in Connecticut, I have two questions:

1. Do you think that this will help or hurt Schlesinger?

2. What do you think it means that the President is refusing to endorse Schlesinger?

Q On Monday, The New York Times reported that Tony Snow refused to say the President will support and campaign for Connecticut Republican nominee, Alan Schlesinger. My question: This is primarily because Lamont, the Democratic nominee, has accepted public support from Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Maxine Waters, and Schlesinger --

MS. PERINO: And your question is?

Q -- has slipped to a single digit. Isn't this the reason Tony didn't want to answer that question? Or would you like to answer the question?

MS. PERINO: I'm going to leave it where the President left it on Monday, and I will give you that transcript so that you have it.

Q He will not campaign for this Republican, will he?

MS. PERINO: He will not.
