Today on NBC's Meet the Press, RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman refused to support the Republican candidate in Connecticut's Senate race.

Mehlman said that Lieberman had been "kicked out of the Democratic party" for supporting the President's position on the Iraq war.

Does Ken Mehlman secretly want Joe Lieberman to win Connecticut's Senate seat in the upcoming election?
