Unpardonable Sin
Moving on to the endorsement of Betty McCollum, here is what the St. Paul Pioneer Press has to say of Obi Sium:
Yes, Obi committed the unpardonable sin of not wasting his time before the Editorial Board. The Gophers have a better chance of beating Ohio State than Mr. Sium does of winning the endorsement let alone the election.
Actually, I don't mind the endorsement of McCollum. She does fit the district, and truly would better represent that district's (... Adjective Wanted! ...) views. And like Wetterling, Obi Sium brings no prior political experience to the job.
I do find it amusing that they spent all that ink for something they could have said in three short paragraphs including the one I quoted.
Her opponent is Republican Obi Sium, a retired state engineer and naturalized citizen who grew up in the African nation of Eritrea. Sium declined our invitations to discuss his views on the issues."That's the first and last mention of Mr. Sium, about 1.5 out of the 17 column inches.
