RNC chairman headed to Ohio

Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman is headed to Ohio tonight.

He'll be here until Wednesday meeting with GOP supporters, speaking at the Cleveland City Club and attending a rally with Sen. Mike DeWine, who faces a tough re-election campaign this year against Rep. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat from Avon in northern Ohio.

Maybe that's why Mehlman's first visit is to the Lorain County Victory Center in Avon? He'll be there at 6:30 p.m. to meet with grassroots supporters.

Tomorrow, Mehlman will speak to the City Club of Cleveland at 7:30 a.m. He'll then attend a rally with DeWine at the Highland Heights Community Center in Highland Heights at 3:30 p.m.
