We can only hope he misses being able to make policy at the top and overcomes his dislike of everything Washington DC to run for national office in 2014 or 2016.

we will sorely miss him and I hope he goes on to bigger and better things where he can continue his brand of populism

Bullock will be a great governor

Who was the Republican guy who worked so well w/Schweitzer? I thought it was the AG.

If I had one extra dollar I'd send it along to support someone you think so highly of, but the Dem candidate for Gove in WA State needs it (Inslee -- being far outspent by Republican).

Good luck!

They worked very well together and seemed to have many of the same goals.

With MT pursuing un-doing Citizens United, MT is one of the places the very top of my list for where I'd like to live.

Do you think that the Republicans in MT will look at Dems through different eyes now that they've seen what a good Dem Governor can do?

Republicans, so that makes sense.

A good friend of mine, fearful that taking on Citizens United would hurt Bullock in the governor's race, asked me what good it will do.

I truly believe that the outrage of Citizens United knows no party. People from both parties and all walks of life were equally outrages, if polls are correct.

And, of course, Citizens United money will pour into Montana to hurt Jon Tester and Steve Bullock, and therefore their fight could be motivated, in part, by a personal desire to stop PAC influence. However, I know that Steve is a good guy and a great Leftie. I just think he'll be a fantastic governor!

Beautiful state. having a family reunion at Flathead Lake this summer.
I enjoy the get togethers because several of my cousins are conservative and complain how "Librul" Montana had become...Especially Missoula!
