Mehlman Brings His "Big Tent" When Camping Out

From The Buzz on National Review Online:

RNC Chair Ken Mehlman spoke at the national NAACP conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin today. Here are some excerpts from his remarks:

I want to speak to you from the heart today, and share a message that I deliver everywhere I go: no matter how many elections Republicans win, no matter how many times we hold the White House, no matter how many seats in Congress, how many governor’s mansions, how many state legislatures we win, the party of Lincoln will not be whole again and won’t truly reflect the dream of African American political empowerment until we effectively and forthrightly respond to the cause of the African American community.
