Is Lieberman the Republican candidate?

You may have heard the George Stephanopoulos reported that one of Leiberman's adviser said that Karl Rove had called Joe Lieberman and said, "The boss wants to help. Whatever we can do, we will do."

The New Republic called the Lieberman crew and asked (wow - actual reporting). His Adviser Dan Gerstein said that it wasn't true. "Rove made a personal call, no help was offered, and we are not interested regardless."

So, Gerstein says that no help was offered, but confirms that Rove called.

Well, I have a question: Why the hell would Karl Rove make a personal call to Joe Lieberman the day after the election?

And to top it off, Ken Mehlman, on Chris Matthews, REFUSED to say that the RNC would support the Republican Candidate in the Connecticut race.
MATTHEWS: Do you want Republicans in Connecticut to vote for the Republican candidate or do you want them to vote for Joe Lieberman, which one?

MEHLMAN: I'm letting Republicans in Connecticut make that decision.


He's the head of the RNC, and he won't say that he wants Republicans to vote for the Republican?
