neutral language?[edit]

The statement With the 2007 retirement of Martin Sabo, the opportunity presented itself for Keith Ellison to slide into Sabo's seat -- the "slide into" part seems like rather disparaging language.

And inaccurate, too. It implies an easy transfer into the seat, but Ellison's election was a hard-fought battle, with a major endorsement fight, several candidates in a primary, and a 4-person race in the General. Certainly the toughest fight for an open Congressional seat in Minnesota that year.

This ought to be reworded. 206.55.180.50 T-bonham (talk) 05:47, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
