The Republicans are salivating over the thought of Roemer becoming DNC

[Walt Starr]

chair.

If Roemer is the chair, they have an easy out on who to blame for the overturnning of Roe vs. Wade, the Democrats.

They get to play to their base while the Democrats will take the heat for it happening.

And again, the PNAC/DLC furthers the agenda of the RNC.
