Doug Grow at MinnPost reports that a Jim Oberstar appointment as Secretary of Transportation is unlikely. Twin Cities Daily Liberal blogs that this isn’t a bad thing. Agreed, but me, I’m an Iron Range blogger working in the 8th Congressional District. What the holy hell am I going to write about if Jim stays in the House? I coulda’ been a contender!

I won’t declare this over until the president-elect names a transportation secretary.
