Have to take a moment to acknowledge Congressman Jim Ramstad's retirement - sad all the way around, (except maybe for him!) A truly moderate voice shouldn't be such a rarity these days (as the general population seems to be growing more moderate) but unfortunately, it is. Can't really blame him for getting sick of Washington in the current climate! DC's loss.Some of my friends have speculated that he may run for governor, and I'm sure I'd have a hard time voting against him, even as a Republican. Will be interesting to see what's next for him!
Now apparently Republican Edina mayor Jim Hovland is thinking about a run for Ramstad's seat - as a Democrat! (Well hey, if you're really moderate, why wouldn't you want to be with the majority?!)
This will certainly be an interesting race...!
