There may be some news today about Rep. Jim Oberstar’s Republican opponent this fall. An anonymous tip came in that I am checking out. Remember, the Eight CD GOP declared that their candidate this year had to remain unnamed this spring while he/she/it weighed the benefits of running. But we were told that this candidate was (I’m paraphrasing) totally awesome, like a ninja combined with an astronaut combined with a super smart robot ninja from space.

I don’t get a robot ninja astronaut vibe off the name I’m checking, but I could be wrong.
