	Greg's Opinion - GregsOpinion.com
		Roemer, of course, ran right in the belly of the beast, tackling corruption and cronyism in Louisiana state politics.
		In noting that he would endorse anybody who was running against Edwards in a runoff (were Roemer not to make the cutoff - something he was in danger of as late as the very late debate in which he made the statement), Roemer ran as a pure reformer.
		Roemer's first win statewide was not with a majority (although Avlon leaves out Roemer's total, vague memory pegs it around 30%).

		Roemer has frozen potential support in both parties that might have gone to one of the other major candidates.
		Roemer has always acted more as a Democrat than a Republican, so he would hope to end up with the lion's share of the fl vote.
		Roemer feels he has time to decide with his name recognition, and a commitment of strong potential supporters that they will 'hold the line' for a while.

		In 1988, Kennedy, as part of then-Gov. Buddy Roemer’s staff, was assigned to lobby then-Sen. Foster of St. Mary Parish.
		One of the most bitter disappointments of the Roemer administration was the defeat of the single board of higher education bill, which fell one vote short of the two-thirds majority when Sen. Foster, who Kennedy thought was in their column, went against it.
		Reinventing himself as a hard-core conservative, Roemer started with a wide lead in the polls, but, as in 1991, he faltered in the stretch as rural voters identified Mike Foster as the real right thing.
