47 to 43 percent in Montana...neither above 50 percent. The people who want another candidate and the undecideds are the one’s chosing the winner. Why in Montana this is a close race is incredible. I thought this was a deep red state.

Jon Tester is running a shrewd and well-financed campaign and is giving many the illusion of distance and independence from Barack Obama and Harry Reid. It looks like it’ll be almost but not quite enough to get reelected.

They don’t need any fertilizer on Tester’s farm. He just goes out in the field and starts talking and then there’s enough bullsh-t for the whole state.

That is what happens when you run as a good old boy “conservative” Democrat in Montana then go to DC and become a founding member of the US Senate’s Progressive caucus.

Its very close I dint think either one is ahead at this point. Montanans generally will vote for the candidate who's party is in the majority in congress. They vote straight party tickets much less than in other places.

I would watch the absentee ballots, a lot of older GOP leaning folks start leaving the state for the warmer climates in October. It will be interesting to see if they bother to vote before they go.

There are more and more folks up here self identifying as conservatives rather than Republicans in my experience. Alot of the conservatives wont vote for Romney and it remains to be seen if they will be bothered to vote down ticket or sit it out..

Must win race.
