The pro-life former Indiana congressman, Tim Roemer, has quit the race for the chair of the Democratic National Committee, which will almost certainly be led by past presidential aspirant Howard Dean. Says Roemer:
"First and foremost, Americans don't trust Democrats to keep them safe and secure," Roemer said. "I am also deeply concerned that our proud history as the party of inclusion is in jeopardy. We are losing ground with some of our core constituencies on values and faith issues. If we do not have a serious conversation within our party about how to reach out to those who are leaving us, we will be doomed to minority party status."
The Party is scheduled to reaffirm its minority status at the weekend by electing Dean, now unopposed, as its new chair.
