Obama's campaign must feel Montana is back in play......

[Wetzelbill]

Joe Biden has mentioned the state several times in his two live online stump speeches today. They must be getting good internal polling there.

I think it's viable, last poll a week or so ago had McCain up by five. However, MT has a significant Indian voting block and they are extremely excited about Obama. Also, popular Dem politicians Senator Max Baucus and Governor Brian Schweitzer are up for reelection this year and expect to win handily. This Indian turnout and Baucus and Schweitzer supporters might carry Obama over the top. It's plausible.

1. That would be marvelous!

7. it would be

And North Dakota too. I can't believe he might win ND. Interesting.

2. hey - not to hijack the thread

8. it is odd, she's a great writer though

3. That would be incredible...

And the naysayers during the primaries thought it would come down to the same battleground states as the last couple of elections. Shame on them.

6. Obama is almost rewriting the map for Dems

He has to get it done on election night, but wow, impressive so far. Who would have that a black man would be able to appeal to so many demographics? I am proud of this country, it proves we still have plenty of bright spots. :)

4. I'm canvassing twice a week in Billings. Gonna be close. But, like the Schweitzer win, close is good

[Wetzelbill]

5. awesome

I might be moving back to MT here soon. I'm really proud of my home state. :)

9. And Ron Paul will also be on the ballot.

[Wetzelbill]

11. Yes, I think Paul got more votes than McCain in the primary too

He's the Constitution Party nominee.

10. Don't forget "flat top" Jon Tester. He is one of my favorite new senators.

I always thought MT should be in play. I know Missoula is Obama territory.

[Wetzelbill]

12. He's definitely an asset

Yes Missoula is traditionally a Dem stronghold. Missoula and the last few votes on my reservation, the Blackfeet, put Tester in the senate. Maybe they'll do it for The Big O this time too. :)
