Former congressman Tim Roemer has announced his candidacy for the soon to be open DNC Chairmanship. Mr. Roemer is a pro-life catholic, and if he were to win the position it could conceivably signal a long overdue march to the middle by the party, which would put them in a strong position to start winning some elections again. That is why it is unlikely to happen, Democrats simply haven't shown the willingness to accept leaders and candidates who stand apart from the party's platform, especially on the issue of abortion.
Heck, if Democrats weren't willing to let a pro-life Catholic, William Pryor, receive an up or down vote in the Senate, than who's to believe they will let one lead their party?
