One analyst said a riled-up Oberstar could indeed have enough political weight to affect the deal.
"Technically, he does not have veto power, but actually, he does, because he can put a lot of pressure on the dealmakers," said Michael Boyd...

As much as people like to bag on Boyd, the fact is, the guys is usually right.

Since when do any companies pre- announce thier merger plans

Sounds to me like a great way to drive up the stock price. Dont think this is gonna fly, but the investors must just love it. I should have bought some Delta shares last month, dang it!
