Message to Candidate's: You've Still Got to Ask!

Today's Washington Post reports that the RNC has been doing a terrific job of fundraising, as compared to the DNC. According to the Post, RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman has a lot to do with that fundraising success:

"(Mehlman) pitches in, too, spending seven or eight hours a week on the telephone thanking donors and soliciting contributions. 'I'm a big believer [that] if you call and say thank you as well as asking for something, it's a good deal," he said."

Message to political candidates and organization heads: If Ken Mehlman can find time to thank donors -- and personally ask them to contribute -- then so can you!
