Three longtime House Democrats holding gavels of power were defeated Tuesday night, with Republicans ousting Members with 98 years of combined experience who served as top lieutenants to Speaker Nancy Pelosi .
Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman James Oberstar (Minn.), Armed Services Chairman Ike Skelton (Mo.) and Budget Chairman John Spratt (S.C.) all lost as Republicans regained control of the chamber in a wave that has ousted at least 60 Democrats.

The Oberstar loss is HUGH!
18 terms and beaten by a newcomer...proves we can do it if we field good candidates and fight hard - even in the goofiest political state in the union.
Rush is playing: “Ding dong the witch is dead.” ROTFLMAO!
actually every RAT chairman was deposed yesterday but those three are gone from the House altogether.
My question is what is the fate of Conyers post 01/24-ish/2011 when the new class is sworn in...
to see Nancy finished, but she was sure she would retain her position!!!
and to see old IKE Skeleton gone was icing on the cake..
my state of Pennsylvania did great and we TEA volunteers have only just begun...come on 2012
Glory Hallelujah!
Stop the ‘one world government’ takeover.
Keep on fighting on!
Can you tell I’m just a little estatic today? WOO-HOO
They better do their damn job.

Oberstar’s bill to revamp the Clean Water Act & put the Federal government in charge of every drop of water in the USA, along with control of all adjacent pieces of land needs to be burned on a funeral pyre.
For a person who has represented Minnesota-—THE LAND OF 10,000 LAKES for 36 years to even concieve such a bill is obscene. It would render nearly every square inch of Minnesota property under the control of the Federal government.
Don't any of these morons ever hold real jobs in their lives?
I thought Congress was sworn in on Jan 2 of the new year.
Clarification, Please?
Ooh ooh, don't give up. I feel a surge!!!
Baghdad Bob, eh??
They just don’t come any more crooked than Conyers. The new leadership needs to investigate him big time because there is evidence of something somewhere that can be used to take him down. Guaranteed.
Oberstar was the chief Rat trying use a crowbar to force the Teamsters down Fedex’s throat. Glad to see him go.
Also heard Rush playing (and repeating) the first part of the song “Wipe Out”.
