Mehlman is a protege of Rove who was a protege of Lee Atwater, Reagan's political guru. Like the bloodline of a champion throughbred, it needs to keep going. If I were a young person wanting to break into politics I would try to get into some campaign organization that Mehlman is advising.

"He is easy to personally discombobulate," said Karl Rove.....

Great.

***"Mastering the latest technology often is the key to political success," Mehlman said. "In the 1930s when Franklin Roosevelt mastered the radio, he was able to attract money and support. In the 1960s when John F. Kennedy understood before his opponent did the power of television and the power of the image, he had that power. In the late '70s when (conservative consultant) Richard Viguerie brought direct mail into politics, that was important. The Web is just the latest, and it's an incredibly important tool." ***

Bump!

Wasn't Mehlman the one who made the comment about what John Kerry's campaign is on-"I served in Vietnam, yada yada yada, I want to be President"? He's very effective.
