"Steele Admits He Criticized GOP in Interview
Unnamed Candidate Said Being Republican Was Like Wearing 'Scarlet Letter'
By John Wagner and Robert Barnes

Wednesday, July 26, 2006; B02

Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele's Senate campaign acknowledged yesterday that he was the anonymous candidate quoted by a Washington Post political reporter as saying that being a Republican was like wearing a "scarlet letter" and that he did not want President Bush to campaign for him this fall.

The campaign made the disclosure after a day of speculation in the blogosphere and among political reporters about which Republican Senate candidate had made the disparaging remarks reported by Dana Milbank in the Washington Sketch column in yesterday's Post.

Democrats in Maryland and Washington pounced on the comments to portray Steele as either a chameleon or a hypocrite."
