Republicans and Enron NPR's Mara Liasson is in Austin, Texas, where the members of the Republican National Committee will formally install Marc Racicot as GOP chairman. The former Montana governor assumes office under some controversy. Racicot says he will continue his lobbying activities. And while no one is questioning his personal ethics, there is some worry about the resulting public relations. One of his clients had been the Enron Corporation, which has ties to members of the Bush administration. But many Republicans at the Austin meeting say they do not see the party being tarred by the Enron brush.
