WASHINGTON — 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.

Thank God. Hopefully they put a good mind in there, though I think Mehlman resigning is symbolic, due to 2008 now looming ominously on the horizon.

UPDATE (11/10 1:50AM): Michael Steele has been offered the position, according to the Washington Times.
