"I just checked the statistics and found that MT has had a total of eight Republican senators in its history. But there have been only TWO Republican senators from the state since 1913, Zales Ecton and Conrad Burns."
Very interesting. I knew Burns had been the only GOP Senator from MT to be reelected (at least since the popular election of Senators began), but one would think that a couple of more Republicans would have been elected.
Michael Dukakis got 46% in Montana in 1988---I don't think a Democrat presidential candidate will ever again get such a high percentage of the vote in the state.

I never say never regarding anything these days. Of course, Clinton received a paltry 38% of the vote 4 years later -- and won the state because Bush, Sr. dropped his performance from 52% to 35%. Perot received 26%. It was one of the few (only ?) states where you saw practically a 3-way split of the vote.
