Hawaiian Congressman to appear at Tom and Jerry’s today


It’s not often I get to write a headline like that.

An update and clarification about U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie’s (D-Hawaii) visit to the Iron Range to stump for Barack Obama. He will be at Tom and Jerry’s bar in Chisholm at 3 p.m., not at the college as was originally planned. I think this is a better move as it’s easier to get Rangers into a bar at 3 p.m. than a college. Believe me, I know.

Abercrombie is well known in labor circles, was a popular Obama surrogate in Iowa, and actually knew Obama when he was a small boy and Abercrombie was friends with Obama’s parents. Rangers like talking to people who knew other people’s parents in the ’60s. I’m not kidding, they really do.
