If you look at the MT state legislature compostion where the Dems control the Senate and are one vote away from controlling the House and you have two Dem senators and a Dem governor, something is happening in MT.
I agree, and it isn't good!
The same is true in Virgina and Col. but I think that is more from the GOP getting weak and the Democrats running conservative sounding candidates.
That is what the Democrats forget in Presidential elections, most of the nation is conservative, even those portions run by Democrats.
Case in point is Kansas, with a Democrat Gov.
That is who Obama should have picked, but he was too afraid of Hillary.
But that governor got elected running as a conservative and running against GOP corruption.
In one way, Bush reminds me of Grant, an honest man, but not really knowing what was going on around him.
