Interesting poll: 52% BHO and 35% for HRC. Where are the other 13%? Undecided?
If the state usually goes Republican in presidential races does that mean that the senators and governor are of a different type of Democrat than the presidential nominees of late?
what about turn Montana in to a bison nature preserve?
McCain's lead in Montana is 8 points. That is not big at all - in fact, it is quite small. I guess it only has 3 electoral votes anyway.
Jon Tester, the new senator, the rancher/trumpet player who is missing some fingers is not your typical lefty Democrat. Max Baucus has always seemed fairly centrist.
Hunters in the West are often aligned with environmentalists. It has to do with not degrading the wild areas any more than they already are.
