Lamnidae

A few weeks ago at the GOP state convention, Erik Iverson offered his sage prognostication:

“You heard it here first. Roy Brown is going to beat Brian Schweitzer in November.”

I wish he have wagered some of that hard earned taxpayer money on the prediction, because recent polls aren’t looking so good for Roy Brown. A Rasmussen Reports poll conducted last week shows Gov. Brian Schweitzer leading challenger Roy Brown 61 percent to 32 percent. Perhaps more damaging are the numbers found in the poll internals: Gov. Schweitzer taking 25 percent of the Republican vote in the state, and a 41 percent disapproval rating for Roy Brown. Looks like Gov. Schweitzer need only keep working hard, raise a little money, and finish strong so he can hand the Montana GOP their asses in a tidy package in November.
