The 53-year-old governor is running as a centrist Democrat who has advanced party values while navigating a Republican legislature and a GOP-leaning electorate. Bullock made his candidacy official in a video that capped months of speculation fueled by his political activity in Iowa, which hosts the nation’s first presidential caucus next February. He plans to address supporters later Tuesday in the state capital, Helena, where he grew up not far from the governor’s mansion.

To borrow an old line from a famous movie...

I wonder if you can “run” for President, take in campaign $$$ nationwide, don’t spend much, drop out, then use the remaining $$$ to fund a Montana US Senate campaign later?

(which is my thought about what Buttigay is doing)

He signed the state’s Medicaid expansion into law yesterday.

Nuff said.

Happens at all levels.

A ‘Rat here ran for congress, got upwards of 2-3% in the primary, and then ran for state Sinate. Been there ever since.

Bullock only won reelection because his opponent was weak, and not a native Montanan, and who was hampered by a strong eastern accent that would have been more at home in Baltimore—an outsider.

The irony is that Montana is not all cowboys and ranchers, but loaded with liberal labor unions and even remnants of the International Workers of the World. Warren Buffett's railroad is a major employer in the state. Throw in an ultra liberal University and loads of earthy crunchy types, and you can see how Bullock squeaked in. Bullock would be more at home as governor of Massachusetts than as governor of a western state.

All I know is that I ran out of fingers and toes to count them a few weeks ago.
