You’re right. In reality, the rat bench is so weak in Montana, I can’t see them coming up with anything, but I wish Corey Stapleton had remained in the senate race (he’ll run for Daines’ seat). He has a more conservative record than Daines, but it looks like we’re stuck with what we have, which sucks.
As for South Dakota, none of the challengers to Rounds are likely to beat Rounds. He has a huge warchest. Yet again, its another race where the rat cabinets are bare, and we’re sending someone who is not really a conservative.
One upside is that Noem’s decision not to run essentially makes that House seat a lock. I’m not sure what that race would have looked like had it been open, especially with Tim Johnson’s son lurking around trying to make another dynasty.
So, it looks like we’re likely to get two more John Hoevens in the senate.
It means we have to work extra hard for the conservative in North Carolina (Rove’s group is weak here), and the primary challenges to RINOS like Graham, Alexander, and McConnell.
Four conservatives elected in 2014 will be a good haul.
Yeah, yuck. It's a question of when he will run for something rather than if.
Mead Treadwell is acceptable but nothing spectacular. This statement is posturing. It’s expected that state Natural Resources Commissioner Daniel Sullivan will run when his tour of duty in Afghanistan ends and I think he’s be more conservative and a better candidate.
