Let’s keep their feet to the fire.

Great viseo of the vile Oberstar...he is sounding desperate.

I have a friend from Chisholm who is a second cousin to Jim Oberstar. She’s active in the GOP in central Minnesota. She told me her brother used to be a strong Democrat who worked in Oberstar’s campaigns, but bit by bit he came to realize that the Dems did not really represent his values. So this brother, whose family name is also Oberstar(!!), decided to telphone Jim’s office and was actually able to speak to the congressman. What a surprise Jim O. got when his relative lit into him about how his votes were not representative of the true values of NE Minnesotans.

I had a good laugh about this story when she told me it on Oct. 17th!

So what does he say about the way he see’s that race ending? Does he see Oberstar losing to Cravaack?

I do, but I am in California now. I have long since left Minnesota years ago.

What does your friend say about Chip’s prospects? I’ve been following this race since late Spring because of Oberstar’s sponsorship of the bill that would put the EPA in charge of every damp spot on the American landscape. As soon as I read Chip’s bio I liked his chances.
