http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/printstory.mpl/politics/2585942Ken Mehlman is a no-nonsense CEO who leads the corporation formally known as Bush-Cheney '04, Inc., the well-oiled re-election campaign.
Mehlman's businesslike ethic suffuses the operation, from the hushed, carpeted hallways of the spotless campaign headquarters to the courteous, well-dressed young Republicans who staff it.
In person, Mehlman is focused and direct, filled with purpose in securing Bush's re-election at a time when, according to several opinion polls, unease about the war in Iraq has eroded the president's popularity. Those who know him will tell you: Mehlman is organized, Mehlman is brilliant. He is driven, disciplined, and tireless.
There are other dimensions, as well.
"He is easy to personally discombobulate," said Karl Rove, White House adviser and longtime Mehlman mentor.
