Reports from the West Virginia Republican Convention are that former Louisiana Governor Buddy Roemer led the McCain delegation and made the shady back room deal that gave the convention to Mike Huckabee by the narrowest of margins. Let me be clear: Buddy Roemer is a DEMOCRAT.
Buddy Roemer served four terms in the United States House of Representatives. He was elected each time as a DEMOCRAT. He was elected governor of Louisiana as a DEMOCRAT. He was elected over incumbent Edwin Edwards in 1987. Edwards had spent most of his third term defending against federal corruption charges.
Roemer went on to veto a very important pro-life bill during his term as governor. That angered enough conservatives that he was not re-elected. Indeed, he lost to Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke and Edwin Edwards. In other words, he was such a strong candidate that he could not beat a white supremacist and a crook.
This is the man that Senator McCain chose to lead his delegation to the Mountain State. A Democrat. A pro-abort.
