Pro-Life Democrat Seriously Considering Party Chair Bid

Looks like former Congressman Tim Roemer, a Catholic pro-life politician is running for the DNC chair being vacated by Terry McAuliffe. Though party leaders, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have urged him to run, I wonder if they truly will support him or if their vocal support now is just a disingenous way to "show" that Democrats too can be pro-life or at least accepting of pro-lifers in the party. This is a campaign Catholics in the Public Square will be watching.

UPDATE: Though some party leaders "seem" to be supportive of Roemer, abortion advocates are not. Read here for more.
