Just watched the president get off the plane in Montana with family...

[scheming daemons]

...and be greeted by a Democratic governor (Schwietzer) and two Democratic senators (Tester and Baucus).


...from Montana.


Think about that a second. Once again, thank you Howard Dean. Who would've thought that a state like Montana would have a Dem governor and two Dem senators at the same time?

1. Now if Baucus would only behave like a Dem!

[Capn Sunshine]

2. baby steps, baby steps

first the Big (D) then the little (d)emocratic. Increments.
Howard taught us this.

3. Rahm Emanuel wouldn't have given Montana a second thought.

One has to wonder---is his denial of the potential to woo voters to the Democratic Party by showing backbone a willful, self-fulfilling prophesy?

7. Yes, Thank you, Howard Dean and those

8. More and better Democrats is what we need. We've got the former, need to work on the latter.

9. every time I see Obama in public, I have mixed feelings . . .

on one hand, I'm delighted that we have such an appealing and articulate man as president, and that he enjoys mingling with crowds wherever he goes . . .

one the other hand, I'm terrified that with all the hate speech being fomented by the astroturfers and wingnuts, someone is going to try to do him bodily harm . . . especially now that we've learned that the Secret Service doesn't have enough agents to investigate all of the threats he's receiving . . .

there are people in this country who are either terrified or enraged (or both) that a black man is our president, and more than a few of them are several cards short of a full deck . . . these are the ones who really worry me . . .

10. It's what we used to have before Reagan

In the 70's it was Sen. Mike Mansfield, Sen. Lee Metcalfe, and Gov. Forrest Anderson

11. Indeed. I was thinking as he called on the woman in the cowboy hat yesterday

...The woman who then proceeded neither to call him a communist nor yell at him for being black, how far we've come in the West.
