Progress Illinois: "Ray LaHood? Really?"

I think I just ruined Jacky Grimshaw’s morning.
“Ray Lahood? Really?!?” That was the reaction from the transportation and community development coordinator at the Chicago-based Center for Neighborhood Technology when I relayed the news that the retiring seven-term Republican congressman from Peoria was being considered as Secretary of Transportation in the incoming Obama administration. “You’ve left me totally dumbfounded. Ray LaHood?”
Since our last post noting the initial rumors, both the Peoria Journal-Star and the Tribune have heard from GOP sources that the president-elect will announce Lahood as his pick on Friday.
You can't blame Grimshaw for being caught off-guard. As she explained, she’s never “seen or heard anything he’s done” with regards to mass transit from his first election in 1994 until now, including the negotiations over SAFETEA-LU four years ago.
So what can we glean about LaHood's record on this issue? ( Read more... )

Israelis for Obama
Sep. 25th, 2008 01:54 pmPlease forward this to any undecided pro-Israel voters in your acquaintance. Obama and Biden are the only candidates committed to helping Israel pursue peace via a 2 state solution, the only formula that will preserve Israel as both a democracy and a majority Jewish country. McCain and Palin share the current administration's disdain for diplomacy, and their bellicose confrontational posture is not conducive to peace negotiations.
