James Oberstar has lost his re-election !!! (According to the Duluth Star-News)
Even if he had won, he would have been out as the House Transportation Committee head.

"Oberstar, a Democrat from Chisholm, watched an early lead dwindle throughout the night, and, in the end, Cravaack won 48 percent of the vote to Oberstar’s 47, with a spread of about 4,200 votes between them out of more than 270,000 cast.

Oberstar walked into his election night party in Duluth predicting “ a good night, a good victory.”

But in Oberstar’s 36 years in Congress, it was the Democrat’s toughest race."

and

Steve Chabot has been re-elected!

May the Delta Queen cruise again in 2011!

Oh man, am I smiling!!!
