Democratic Congressman Sabo Retiring

By MARTIGA LOHN, Associated Press Writer

MINNEAPOLIS - Rep. Martin Sabo is retiring after 46 years in state and national politics, saying Congress has become more polarized and less hardworking during his years there.

...snip...

He currently serves on the House Appropriations Committee and has helped steer millions of dollars to the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. He's also the ranking Democrat on the Appropriations Committee's homeland security subcommittee.

His retirement at the end of the current term is expected to set off a stampede among Democrats eager to succeed him in his liberal Minneapolis district, where John Kerry won 71 percent of the vote in the 2004 presidential election.

1. "in his liberal Minneapolis district, where John Kerry won 71 percent"

From where I sit this sounds like heaven.

Do people in Minneapolis realize how lucky they are?
