DescriptionBy Jonathan Allen

Senate Republicans are divided over the questions of whether and by how much GOP candidates should distance themselves from President Bush and the Iraq war on the campaign trail this year.

Bush’s approval rating remains stuck in the 30s, and at least two elected Republican officials have suggested recently that the president may be an albatross in the upcoming midterm elections.
