Roemer seeks chairmanship

Former Congressman Tim Roemer is said to be seeking the DNC Chairmanship.

Roemer, president of the nonprofit Center for National Policy, served in Congress from 1991 through 2002. He also served on the Sept. 11 commission that investigated the 2001 terror attacks.

In a statement, Roemer said several prominent Democrats have asked him to consider leading the party. He said he is consulting with family and friends and will make a decision soon.

Is Roemer wanting this because Sen. Bayh is highly speculated to make a bid? His term ended in 1993, not 2002 as the article suggests.

While we are on the subject of chairmanships, Roll Call is reporting that Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel is being considered to head the DCCC. I surely hope he gets it. That would mean both campaign committess will be held by a Jew. Throw Simon Rosenberg into the mix as DNC Chair and you've got a trifecta!

Emanuel is the clear favorite among consultants - and the potential chairman feared most by House Republicans.

The second-term Member developed a reputation as a bare-knuckled strategist during his time as senior adviser in the Clinton White House, an image reinforced during his successful primary campaign in 2002 to claim the north Chicago seat vacated by Rod Blagojevich (D), who went on to win the governor's seat.

Emanuel also is considered the best fundraiser of the three candidates mentioned, with connections in both his native Chicago and nationally, due to his time spent in the White House. As a freshman in the 2004 cycle, Emanuel served as a vice chairman of the DCCC and gave the organization $175,000.

One Democratic consultant said Emanuel "brings a lot to the table. He is politically very savvy; he showed in his first term he understands the nexus of politics and policy; he obviously is a good fundraiser; and not the least of which, as a former DCCC staffer, he knows what works," the consultant added.

I made it home safely and have been busy responding to emails inquiring about the Kentucky Democrat.

Abbas calls on Palestinians to end violence. Peace will be in the mideast. Not a matter of if, but a matter of when.

The Borowitz Report was hilarious as Andy writes that Bush will Google nominees in the future. That, my friend, is some wise advice. In other news, Newsday reports that not only did Bernard Kerik have two affairs but he was secretly married to another wife. Maybe that is a different story though.

I will write my case against Lieberman FOR Homeland Security tomorrow.

Until next time...
