Corker says Bush is not hurting his Senate campaign
From CNN Political Editor Mark Preston

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Chattanooga Mayor Bob Corker dismissed suggestions Sunday that President Bush's low approval rating is hurting his Senate campaign, but acknowledged the "national environment" is what is making "the water a little choppy."

"He's been (to) the state for us twice," Corker, the Tennessee Republican senate nominee, said on ABC's 'This Week with George Stephanopoulos.' "Certainly, you know, we appreciate that. He's helped us raise money. Laura Bush was in the state just the last few days."

Corker will face Democratic Rep. Harold Ford, Jr. in November.
