Here's what one democrat/union guy who supported Cravaak said:

Paul Starkovich of Ely will lead the Democrats for Chip coalition for the Cravaack campaign. Starkovich, a former professional baseball player, union steelworker, and Major League baseball scout, has a broad range of Democrats pledging their support for Cravaack.

“All my buddies tell me they’re sick of the way the DFL is going – the F and the L are long gone. That’s why 20 percent of Democrats voted against Oberstar in the primary. Steelworkers need jobs. They need someone who still cares about them. They need someone like Chip Cravaack,” said Starkovich.

“I’m proud to be part of this coalition,” Cravaack said. “This tri-partisan support will lead us to victory in November.”

I'll just make one more comment about Cravaack. The most impressive thing about his victory is that he did NOT run as a moderate. His issues were fiscal conservative right down the line.

Goes to show that a conservative who is also a good candidate can win in the bluest of districts. There is no reason to have to settle for a RINO.
