Remember it this fall, when they urge you to just vote (R) regardless of your liking for the candidate:
Q Does the President support the Republican candidate for Senate in Connecticut?
MR. SNOW: The President supports the democratic process in the state of Connecticut, and wishes them a successful election in November.
Q Wait a minute. I realize he supports democracy, but I’m wondering, does he actually support his own party’s candidate?
MR. SNOW: I know that’s not news —
Q Why aren’t you committing — why wouldn’t the President commit support for the Republican candidate in that —
MR. SNOW: I don’t know. Why do you ask?
If the President and the RNC don’t take party identification seriously, why should you?
