“Montanans aren’t going to be fooled by Brian Schweitzer and a bunch of Washington, DC politicians that want to hand over control of our water to federal bureaucrats,” Eaton said. “He’s talking out of both sides of his mouth and you can bet we’re going to make sure voters know about it.”

As Matt reported earlier, the big, bad Club for Growth is up on the air next week in Montana with ads attacking Senators Baucus and Tester for their support of the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act. Known for their rabid aversion to any sort of regulation, this move isn’t a big surprise, although one would […]

Matt’s got a good scoop over at LiTW right now about a PAC started up by two state GOP staffers (Chuck Denowh and Dustin Stewart), and the MT Contractors Association’s Cary Hegreberg to play in the HD 7 Democratic primary between Judy Stang and Paul Clark.
Some might recognize Stang’s name, as she […]

It’s no secret that Gov. Schweitzer is a huge gun advocate. Still, this has to hurt. As a Dem, an endorsement from the NRA is about as likely as Jim Hunt getting an endorsement from NRCC. Nevertheless, the Governor earned this one by “sticking to his guns” and not just picking […]

It’s not only young people who are excited about Obama’s candidacy in Montana. Myrtle Strong Enemy is the oldest woman in the Crow Nation at 101, but that didn’t stop her from coming out to see Obama’s appearance for what was a first of its kind visit of a presidential candidate to […]

This sportsman for Obama is going fishing on the Missouri for a few days. I’m sure my three readers will be heartbroken.
One note before I leave: Roy Brown’s uninspired pandering has reached new heights. Now he’s adopting Obama’s branding, referring to his campaign as, “The kind of change we can all believe […]

Bill Vaughn has a great piece on Bill Nooney, the black sheep of the Missoula legislative delegation, up at 4 and 20 Blackbirds today. It’s a maddening story of Nooney’s willingness to knife his neighbors in the back at the behest of his corporate keepers. It worth a read, even if you don’t […]
