| Description | (AP) Republicans worried that bad news in the economy and Iraq might take a toll on President Bush's solid poll numbers should get to work wooing new voters to help ensure his re-election, Mr. Bush's campaign manager told party activists Saturday.
"Our numbers look good today," Ken Mehlman told Republican National Committee members at the end of a four-day meeting. Still, he said, there's no room for complacency about 2004.
"These numbers will come down," Mehlman said. "We must prepare for an election every bit as close as the 2000 election," he said.
Mehlman's speech closed out a meeting punctuated by worries that Bush's political stature has been hurt by the ailing economy, a mounting death toll of U.S. troops in Iraq and questions about the administration's use of shaky intelligence to justify last March's invasion of Iraq. |
