Montana conservative Bob Keenan (R) has Senate campaign website up
Bob Keenan For United States Senate ^

Posted on 04/17/2006 7:26:31 AM PDT by Clintonfatigued

Voting and electing your representatives is the benchmark of a representative republic. Electing a U. S. Senator is the responsibility of the people of Montana and not a decision made by those in Washington D.C. With that in mind, I am humbly applying for the job as your U.S. Senator.

As a husband, father, property owner, small businessman and elected state legislator, I am aware of the issues facing Montanans today.

Here you will find information on these issues and the latest news and updates concerning my campaign for U.S. Senate. I hope as you browse the website you find it helpful and informative.

Thank you for visiting

Polls show Keenan running strongly in the general election, even though he is not widely known. I think he has great promise.

Took a quick look-see. He seems to be on our side of all issues - at least on the issues listed on his site.

Incidentally, Bob Keenan and his wife have homeschooled their childen (though they have also sent them to school). I think that, if elected, he would be the only U.S. Senator to have done that.

No, Burns is the heavy favorite in the primary, but the sure loser in the fall. Republican primary voters may be clueless here.

Burns either has to either improve in the polls or the party needs to talk him into stepping down. This is a critical seat to save or we lose ANY chance of another conservative USSC justice.

Actually they don't. Rasmussen shows him getting less than 40% of the vote. Keenan should back down and let Conrad Burns fight it out. Burns is leading one of his opponents and is neck and neck with the other. Keenan is losing to both.

He's from Bigfork, Montana, and represents Montana's Senate Legislative District #5.

Keenan just got in. BTW, Burns is polling 40% unopposed.

No, Conrad Burns insists on running yet again. He's one of those people who thinks he's entitled to spend the rest of his life in Congress. First, he went back on his word in term limits, and now the Jack Abramoff thing.

He's from Big Fork, where he served on the School Board before being elected to the state legislature.

Bob Keenan trails one opponent by only 4 points, the other by only 6 points, even though they are better-known. And he doesn't have Conrad Burns baggage.

I'm torn on this. Recent polls have Burns improving, which make me antsy of replacing him with an unknown.

Yet, at the same time, it's still awfully close for an incumbent. He's still obviously got problems, and if he indeed IS guilty of the Abramoff stuff, he deserves to go nomatter what.

I'm marginally in favor of Keenan, with some reservations. I just hope it all works out OK.

Your conclusion is reasonable. But when an unknown and an incumbent Senator poll nearly alike against the same liberal opponents, it tells you something.

Very well-stated. The same applies to Congressman Bob Ney and this certain lady in The Sunshine State.

Amen.

My admiration of DeLay went up big with his decision. I already believed him to be innocent, and I think time will prove it, but he put his cause ahead of himself. It's something I think he lost sight of at one point on the spending issue, but he got it back by stepping down.

I wish other people would learn from his example. Harris especially. Heck, she's still be in the house most likely.
