Mehlman predicts GOP will win in November
From CNN Political Editor Mark Preston
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman predicted Sunday that the GOP will hold the congressional majority in the midterm elections, in an interview on CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer." "I'm confident we're going to maintain our majorities in the House and the Senate," Mehlman said. "And here's why. What the American people are going to vote on -- they want the economy; wonder where the economy is. Democrats have said that they will raise taxes, across-the-board tax increases." In addition to tax policy, Mehlman said the GOP offers a better plan to protect the nation from terrorists, which he surmised would be embraced by American voters. America Votes 2006 |
