Confused!?

I have been hearing for months about how terrible it is that Chip Cravaack's family has been moved to New Hampshire.  That this does not allow him to properly represent the 8th congressional district.  Never mind the facts.  Chip's wife was given an opportunity to advise within her company.  That move would need her to be closer to the office.  Additionally, having a young family, it only made sense that they are close to their mother on a daily basis.  No matter where he resides (which happens to be in North Branch) as a congressman, your life is on the road constantly.  I personally know Chip.  I have stood outside the doors of the floor of Congress talking to him about this.  I can tell you as person who is plugged into not only his local office but, with his staff at the campaign office.  Chip is always in Minnesota or DC.  He takes his job seriously.
Now that I have gotten that off my chest.  I have two easy questions to ask.  Why is the DFL making a big deal about it?  Why are they or their special interest groups constantly pushing this topic?  Rick Nolan lived in DC.  Oberstar lived in Virginia.  Neither of them spent the amount of time in this district that Chip has.
Additionally, our sitting (hopefully for only another 6 days) Senator Amy Klobuchar is married to a professor who teaches at the University of Baltimore.  No reasonable person would ever think that means she lives here.  If he teaches in Maryland, naturally you would expect she spend a fair amount of time with him on the East Coast.
It doesn't bother me that he works and most likely lives in Baltimore.  It doesn't bother me that she would spend time with her husband.  What does bother me is that Democrats (and the groups they associate with) will go to the ends of the earth to make sure every person in the 8th district knows about Chip. But would never reply to a question like, "why the double standard?"
