Nashville, UNITED STATES: US President George W. Bush (L) waves with US Senate candidate Bob Corker (C) from Tennessee during a fundraiser to help Corker replace Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R) 30 August 2006 in Nashville. Bush will launch a campaign of speeches, helped by world leader visits, to defend his handling of the global war on terrorism and the conflict in Iraq, as many of Bush's Republicans worry that the rising death toll and price tag from the unpopular war in Iraq may cost them control of the US Senate and House of Representatives in the 07 November mid-term elections.
