* snubbed by FL Republican governor candidate

[DesertRat]

PENSACOLA, United States (AFP) - President George W. Bush made his final plea to voters ahead of knife-edge congressional elections, telling them to vote Republican if they want America's full protection.

Bush, on a final three-state swing of a campaign dominated by the war in Iraq, branded Democrats as soft on the "war on terror" and also predicted Republicans would crush their rivals' hopes of seizing back control of one or both chambers of Congress.

But he suffered one final campaign trail indignity, as the Republican candidate to succeed the president's brother Jeb as Florida governor snubbed him at a rally, apparently wary of Bush's low poll ratings. :rofl:

3. "Rove was 'a little uppity' in his response."

Asked what the Crist cancellation meant for Bush, Rove said "Let's see how many people show up in Palm Beach on 24 hours notice versus 8 or 9,000 people in Pensacola." Rove also said to ask Crist's people why they cancelled. The pool producer noted that Rove was "a little uppity" in his response.

After saying this, Rove tried to say it was off the record but the pool producer pointed out to him that the camera was rolling (and had been as he spoke earlier about GOP polling) and there were recorders in his face.
