Oberstar didn't sense shift coming until it was too late.

The budget should be easier to balance now that we don't have to build any more million dollar walking trails on the Range.

We'll miss you, Rep. Oberstar.Best of luck to you.

Chip is gone next term. He doesn't have a plan to get jobs to the range. As long as he abstains from pork it's going to stay that way. Might be a nice lake home/cabin market as folks are forced to sell/get foreclosed on or otherwise move.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

those 4 lane highways going through the middle of nowhere and the bike trails that no one uses. I hope they investigate the contractors that got these bids and see if any of them contributed to his campaigns over the years. My sources say yes.

A hopeful return to fiscal responsibility.

Sad to see him go, but his goodbye speech on NPR was very gracious and told a great story.

He is an Old man that lost touch with his constituency. Like many others that were tossed out. Beholden more to the power elite cronies than the folks he represented. Should be a lesson to all Pols including Craavack. My opinion term limits are needed. The House is supposed to be the house of the people, not an almost permanent job for many who love the power more than public service.
