Dole May Lead GOP Senate Campaign Panel

[Khephra]

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Elizabeth Dole has secured more than half of the votes she needs to become the first woman to lead the GOP campaign committee that works to help elect Republicans to the Senate.

Taking over at National Republican Senatorial Committee is a traditional stepping stone into party leadership. The winner will need at least 28 votes from the 55 Republican incumbents and senators-elect when they meet next week.

Dole, R-N.C., and Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., are seeking the job.

A letter from 15 of those Republican says Dole is being "uniquely qualified and positioned to lead our next effort to protect and defend our majority" as the top fund raiser and campaign strategist for Senate Republicans.

2. Great News

Since she's dumb as a bag of hammers, she may hurt their recuitment efforts significantly.

P.S., Liddy, is that Mike Easley I hear sneaking up on you for 2008? Don't forget to keep your own fundraising house in order - - or better yet, do.

I detest this woman.
