Let s Not Get Ahead of Ourselves
With all the talk and speculation in the media about the 2008 presidential election, let s not forget that crucial elections are coming sooner - they re less than two years away -- November 2006. And right here at the RNC, we re working hard to ensure the GOP maintains its strong majority in the 06 midterms. Radio Iowa reported that RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman, in Iowa on Wednesday, warned "the party's prospective presidential candidates who're coming to Iowa shouldn't get too focused on the 2008 campaign. I'm focused right now on the 2006 election, not the 2008 election. " Mehlman added, "I always say the first primary of 2008 is what folks do in 2006 it's crucial that Republicans fight to protect the majorities they hold in the U.S. House and Senate, where the GOP controls the debate agenda," pointing out that President Bush "has been able to accomplish things because he's had a Republican-led Congress to work with."
