"Republicans have a big tent; why can't we?"

Today's lesson: Why covering politics is fun.

I've barely a notion of who Tim Roemer is, and I could care less who wins chairman of the DNC, but I do find the story within a story here interesting. In short, the Democratic establishment is having fits over the idea that the DNC chair might go to a guy who's anti-abortion. (Never mind that Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., identifies himself as opposed to abortion and has the voting record to prove it.) You think the Republicans would let an internal fight like this go public? You think the GOP just might concern itself more with finding a party chairman who could, I don't know, win an election or two?
