You mean a rubber stamp for Obama that will bring home the pork? I’ll be voting for Cravaack.
Hot debate. What do you think?

You’re as big a liar as Nolan. Nolan is disgusting creep. Cravaack has done more in 2 years for us than Oberstar did in the last 20.

It’s unfortunate that when a plant decides to close its doors and leave many hard working folks wondering about their future and forced to make tough choices that the man seeking to represent those people would rather point fingers and assert that the government should have done something than to find a way to genuinely help those people into the next phase of their lives.
Plants sometimes close, for whatever the reason. Nobody likes when that happens, there are no winners. To use this occasion to seek political gain from the misfortune of those workers is like slapping them in the face.
Whether Cravaack has done his job as a U.S. Representative, voters will decide in 4 weeks. Whether Mr. Nolan is more interested in truly making government functional for the people or simply getting himself elected, I think he made quite clear.

Chip Craavack has been a strong support of unions, mining, blue collar workers. For Mr. Nolan to basically say that Craavack doesn’t care about jobs is just a down and out ugly lie. This is politics at its worst.

Stat, for every 1 mining job there are 2.5 created from it as well. Lets get moving on these mining opportunities! Stop the multiple regulations and years of red tape with all the environmental threats!
We could be a flourishing region, that also cares about the environment. Chip appears to on board with progress towards jobs, while Nolan appears to bring back acid rain talk. If these opportunities were launched on time, think about how many would be working and not collecting State and Federal benefits. Think about the tax revenues that could of been brought to the region. Think about the economic shift we would have!
