Announcing The Announcement

Wednesday, September 7, 2011

Jack over at The Western Word has a quick summary of the current state of the 2012 gubernatorial race, including the news that Steve Bullock has joined the race – arguably the worst-kept secret in Montana politics this year. Politics aside – not a Democrat or Republican or Libertarian or Tea Party or Green thing – Bullock’s “teasing” of his candidacy for the last several months just ticks me off, because it happens so often at all levels of...

Election 2008

Tuesday, November 4, 2008

And so it ends. Election 2008 draws to a close today – barring any Florida ’02 scenarios. It has not been a normal election year in Montana, as our state has seen more attention lavished on it by candidates in search of our three electoral votes than in (?) any previous election. Conspicuous by his absence, of course, is John McCain, but I don’t think that people inclined to vote for McCain would withhold their vote for that reason....

Esposito ’08

Monday, September 8, 2008

You know that it’s rare for me to address topics not directly related to Great Falls here…but amid all of the hoopla surrounding the McCain/Palin versus Obama/Biden presidential race, don’t forget that there are indeed other candidates. Here’s one to watch: Senator Brad Esposito. Obviously, he’s a long-shot candidate, but as Americans we owe it to ourselves to hear his stance on the issues before finally settling on a candidate. Here are some of Senator Esposito’s strong stands on...

Buzz

Tuesday, June 3, 2008

Carol over at Missoulapolis has the best chuckle of the campaign, regarding the amount of media coverage and journalists and politicians criss-crossing our state in the run-up to today’s last-in-the-nation Democratic primary: At last – at last! Montanans get the worldwide attention and buzz they’ve craved! Why, maybe the kids won’t move to Seattle after all. Heh. Yep, it’s been interesting being the “center of the universe” for a few days here in Montana…and I suppose media coverage of...

Dem Rallies in Great Falls

Friday, May 30, 2008

I don’t know how many supporters the Obama team expected to attend this evening’s rally at the Four Seasons Arena, but I bet they were hoping for more than 2,400. Frankly, I expected to read that more people showed up, too. And on the other side of the Dem divide, former President Bill Clinton will be in Great Falls on Sunday, appearing at 3:45 at the Paris Gibson Education Center. If anyone attended the Obama rally, or plans to...
