No surprise!

In a move that should have shocked no one. Long time democrat representive James Oberstar endorsed Senator Becky Lourey in her bid to become governor.

There was a rumor and then a press release this week that she would be getting a huge endorsement on Friday. Well she did and to no surprise to me is was Jim Oberstar.

I don't know if this will make a huge difference or not in her campaing. It is always nice to have powerful people backing you, however how much will this help?

I don't know for sure how much of an impact the endorsment will bring her.

As far as Hatch, I am not sure he will be stong in the end.

Yes Oberstar did endorse Moe four years ago but did it help Moe all the much.

Yes it is a blow to all the other democrats they all would have liked his endorsment I am sure.

Thaks for the post and feel free to do so any time on this or any other issue.
