BY STEVEN THOMMA Knight Ridder Newspapers WASHINGTON - As Congress . gears up to authorize war with Iraq, the chairman of the Republican Party said Monday that the vote could raise questions about the character of anti-war Democrats and become an issue in the coming con- gressional elections. · Democrats said Marc Racicot, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, was threaten­ ing to politicize the grave question of war _simply to help his party. The escalating rhetoric illus­ trates the undercurrent of domestic political calculation that is influenc­ ing the nation's war deb.ate during this fall's election campaign over control of the House of Represen­ tatives and the Senate. Racicot, the chairman of the Re­ publican National Committee, said at a breakfast meeting he did not think the debate over war should be partisa~. He said he was nqt recom­ mending that Republican candi- .. dates make the war "the centerpiece · of individual" campaigns." But he . ~-~!!! said the vote could be fair game in the closing days of the campaign.
