Bullcrap. Tester is not well-known in the eastern half of the state. Tester is from Big Sandy which is 75 miles northeast of Great Falls, which is northcentral Montana. Tester only won the nod for the Democratic candidate because his Democrat opponent had skeletons in his closet and was more crooked than the hind leg of a coon hound. Most Democrat elites couldn't care less what exists east of Havre, Great Falls, and Billings (the eastern third of the state, which is where the farming votes exist, which is one of the largest voting blocs in this state).
Keep an eye on Yellowstone County (the most populated county in the state, whose county seat is Billings), it's the county that carries the state, and it's where Conrad and Phyllis Burns call home.

That's good news.
