Ken Mehlman did a great job for Bush-Cheney in 2004 and was rewarded with the GOP Chairmanship. Those are the facts.

There were many factors that contributed to the 2006 debacle. Ken Mehlman's performance had little or nothing to do with what happened. The RNC was not short of money. The Republican base turned out. We lost a few close elections because the independents went the other way and the Libertarians took some votes off the other end.

Ken Mehlman deserves better treatment than he is getting here.

I agree

I see now. You're right, he did. I thought you meant he did a great job as RNC Chair in '04.
