WASHINGTON - Senate Republicans on Wednesday narrowly chose North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole to lead their campaign operations for 2006.

The race for chairing the National Republican Senatorial Committee pit Dole, a familiar face who led the Red Cross and is married to former Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas, against Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota, an energetic politician who defeated former Vice President Walter Mondale in 2002. Both arefirst-term senators.

Dole, 68, won the job after getting 28 votes to 27 votes for Coleman in a caucus of GOP senators and senators-elect.

Dole's supporters said she would help Republicans win over female and minority voters by putting a "different face on the party."

Story of his divorce from his first wife. Very shabby deal. He could have used a good swift kick in the pants. Jeez. If he was one of the stone throwers at Bill Clinton, he was absolutely evil to do it.
