when you bring in your residual Democratic supporters who have been with you for years, then shed the Democrat label and become the "more conservative" candidate in a state where the Republicans might as well vote for you because their guy hasn't got a chance in hell. The only way Lamont could have won was if the Republicans put up a strong challenger and split the moderate/right vote with Lieberman. The Republicans did the smart thing and decided to support the man who in their view is the lesser of two evils.
Rather than demonstrating the amount of support for Bush, maybe this is just demonstrating the amount of support for a moderate incumbant.
