Reply #26: As I said, I support Dean for DNC chair, but I don't think he or Roemer

will get the nomination.

I think it's appalling that Roemer is being endorsed by "some" in the Party, and I am certain Ms. Pelosi is hearing from Progressives about her backing.

Serving in Congress from 1990 to 2002, Roemer compiled a strong pro-life voting record during his tenure.

However, Dennis Kucinich was "Pro-Life" most of his career, and most people here didn't hold that against him.

As Howard Dean said, "at least "Pro-Life" Democrats are consistent in their beliefs" and are anti-capital punishment, anti-war etc.

I see Roemer as a statement that the "Pro-Life" mentality is welcome in the Democratic Party, while I'm Pro-Choice, I realize frankly that Roemer would be virtually harmless to my right to choose as head of the DNC. He can't vote on the issue of abortion. I think this is more of a statment, I don't think anyone believes that he'll be the DNC chair.
