In todays Kentucky Congressional election the loser, Republican State Senator Alice Kerr :

…based her campaign in large part on her support of President Bush, who had a 63 percent approval rating in a recent poll taken by The Courier-Journal of Louisville.
Mr. Bush made a commercial for Kerr’s campaign and House Speaker Dennis Hastert stumped for her. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., gave her $10,000 and loaned top aides to run her campaign.

And lost 83,890 to 65,300 to Democrat Ben Chandler.
I wonder how quickly the republican house and senate leaders who are up for reelection this year will distance themselves from the administration boat anchors?
