RE: Kohl Talks Sense
E.S.K. - Thing you have to remember with Obey is that he's been there since Vietnam (1969 via special election when ironically the guy who use to have the seat became Nixon's Defense Secretary.). I'm pretty sure he was screaming "We're gonna lose!" in 1991 during the first Gulf War.
In fact, in 1991 he voted against the use of force to liberate Kuwait from Hussein.
I've found that it's best to ignore Dave and simply see him as "that kook from the Northwoods" and end it there.
The line is forming to the right with the number of folks waiting for his retirement to try to get his seat. But considering the clout he has as ranking member of the Appropriations Committee (read: Pork), he's not going anywhere for a while.
