ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Republican Michael Steele's changing remarks about President Bush - from criticism to calling him his "homeboy" - left Maryland voters wondering what are the Senate candidate's true views.

"I can't tell what Steele thinks about Bush," Michael Jackson, 45, a cook from Annapolis, Md., said Thursday. "Does he like Bush? Not like Bush? I don't know," said Jackson, a Democrat who supports the president.

At a lunch with reporters Monday in Washington, Steele criticized Bush for his handling of the Iraq war and Hurricane Katrina, said he probably wouldn't want the president campaigning for him in Maryland and equated his Republican affiliation with the scarlet letter.

Steele then went on a talk show on WBAL-AM in Baltimore to say he is "proud to be a Republican" and called Bush his "homeboy." He took back his statement about the president campaigning for him and described himself as an independent Republican who's willing to disagree with the Bush administration.
