Supreme Court Justices in Montana run for office on a non-partisan basis. They are elected not appointed. Most of the incumbents come from the left. Despite losing the Governorship, and both houses to the Dems, the Montana Republican party remains strong. Bush won by a substantial margin, as did the at-large Republican Representative.

I attribute the Democratic victories to a backlash against the perceived weakness and corruption of the Martz administration.

I disagree Joe. I think the Republican Party here, is weak. They really ran a weak campaign this year. I think they did an especially poor job, against the nut job who won the governorship!

And now that we have P.T. Barnum in the governor's chair, and the rest of the liberal circus in the house and senate, it is going to be very hard to get the truth out there. They alter reality and the press eats it up.

(BTW, can you believe this wacko, saving full garbage cans so that he can rummage through it; and setting up a table in the hallway of the Capitol, to meet with VIP's BEFORE he is governor?!)
