What a wonderfully pessimistic view. Actually Roy got termed out in the House, is serving his FIRST term in the Senate. This choice was difficult for him, but it was done with the interests of the state. As weird as it may seem now a days, Roy actually thinks in terms of what is best for the people of the State of Montana.

-—What a wonderfully pessimistic view.-—

There’s a lot to be pessimistic about. This is my forth year in Montana and here are some of the things I’ve seen:

In the Flathead, Republican supervisors supported a Democrat running for supervisor because they thought the Republican candidate was too far right.

Bob Brown ran the worst campaign for governor that I can recall. “He fought a grizzly bear and lived to tell the story...”

Then there was Keenan running against Burns in the primary. I sent him an emil question on his position on the southern border fence and the upcoming passport requirement for Canada. He sent me a reply saying how much he loved his passport and how he was looking forward to getting them for his whole family. On the border fence he gave me some blather about the Berlin Wall! The story I’ve heard is that he was only running against Burns to lend him legitimacy.

Then there was the Burns-Tester match-up. I kept waiting for the Burns ads to kick in on the local talk radio. Tester was running 2 ads to his 1 until the very last week. Where did all the money go?

This is an overwhelmingly conservative state and the Dims are eating our lunch.
