It is Conrad Burns, the GOP guy, who is up for election. He had a very tough race last time, but I don't think any Dem of note is lining up to run against him this cycle. Still, sorry to say, Montana is trending Democrat, unless the GOP in that state gets its act together. This is a chronic story for all of these "safe red states" -- overconfidence on the part of the GOP, and an unwillingness to work hard. Thune showed the way, but there is a lot of following to be done, including in Thune's own state of SD, which still has a Dem Senator and Rep.
I guess I got the Montana seats mixed up. Sorry about that. Why is Montana trending left? Is it liberals fleeing their own mess in California, only to try and recreate it in Montana? And Nevada, and Colorado, etc.
I know Clinton did very well there compared to Gore and Kerry, so hopefully history won't repeat itself for his wife.
