Mehlman Will Head RNC

President Bush did the right thing today by naming Ken Mehlman to head the RNC.

Mehlman was the workhorse behind Karl Rove's strategy to sweep key battleground states. In so doing, he proved once again that campaigns are not won merely by purchasing the most TV ads. Wars are won on the ground, and so are elections.

Republicans can take heart that under Mehlman's leadership, the majorities established over the last 10 years can likely be kept in place for the next 20-30 years if he builds strong grassroots systems into the overall strategy of the RNC.
