How we’ve gone from that statement to “Burns has been exonerated” is beyond me. Iverson informed us that Burns wasn’t a target of the investigation, so it wouldn’t seem like someone who wasn’t being pursued could be exonerated.
As I pointed out a while back, if Burns’ vote wasn’t for sale, he looks worse on the [...]

Well, Montana and the country have chosen: it’s the party of godless tax-raising sodomites. I mean, that’s what I was told the Democrats were.
Congrats to all the winning candidates and good riddance to the many who deserved to lose and did.

I predict sweeping losses for the Democrats tomorrow.
That’s right, the Democrats.
I say that so I won’t be disappointed if we lose.
In all seriousness, I predict Democrats win back the House by a slim margin, gain a couple seats in the Senate, Tester edges out Burns, and Rehberg trounces Lindeen.
Vagueness: another key to making good predictions.

Less than a week to the election. I haven’t talked about it much, I suppose. That’s because other MT blogs do an excellent job already. My contribution is unlikely to be original. Oh well.
I have to confess, I often vote against candidates rather than for them. I would rather not do this, but I’m apparently [...]

That was entertaining. Tester, Burns, and the blue man himself, Stan Jones, faced off tonight. Tester did an excellent job, perhaps without some of the better one liners from the Butte debate, but excellent nonetheless. Burns was his normal incoherently rambling self. Numerous times I had to to turn to Scott to make sure I [...]

Apparently Conrad Burns thinks you should be pissing yourself with fear over Tester’s calls to repeal the Patriot Act. What else explains this attempt to strike fear into your heart?
It’s also a nice example of confusing cause and correlation. The Patriot Act was passed and now every success in the war on terrorism is a [...]

It never ends. The MT GOP E-brief seems to be stuck on one tactic: guilt by association. You see, arguing for Burns’s reelection is just too boring. They need to spice things up a bit. For a while they were smearing Tester for associating with Kos and company. Very scary, indeed. Then of course there’s [...]

That’s my interpretation of Burns’s comments about his house painter. I don’t take them as racist as much as I see them as part of Burns’s back slappin’ good ol’ boy schtick. It strikes me as a redneck attitude, but not as racist. It’s embarrassing, coming from someone who’s supposed to represent my state.
Those are [...]

You can watch George Allen call someone from the Webb campaign “macaca” here. Nice guy. His defense is that he’s a moron. Which seems rather silly. Is this something that’s just going to pop out of some normal adult’s mouth?
Perhaps Allen’s defense is strenghthed by the fact that he seems completely unaware of what he [...]

I haven’t said a word about that race, mainly because a) this is Montana, not Conneticut and b) its importance seems overblown. I’m all for Lamont winning. Lieberman isn’t a terrible Senator, but he’s not entitled to his seat, as he seems to think. I think Lamont will be better. But again, I haven’t given [...]
