A Stitch in Haste

Part One of my two-part prediction has come to pass:

Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman, whose party lost both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections, will step down from his post when his two-year term ends in January, GOP officials said Thursday.
...
The officials said Mehlman made the decision not to run for a second term more than a month or two ago — well before the election.

Just like President Bush's decision regarding Donald Rumsfeld?

The timing of the announcement is interesting, coming not only right after the election, but also right after comedian Bill Maher suggested on Larry King Live that he has proof of Mehlman's homosexuality and intended to out him (and other high-profile Republicans) on Maher's HBO show.

In any event, Part Two of my prediction is, of course, Rick Santorum. Stay tuned.
