Montana isn't proving as fruitful for the Democrats as they'd like. I saw a recent poll putting Conrad Burns at 51% against his possible Democratic rivals.
Burns at 51? Lousy number for a GOP incumbent, especially a fairly senior one, in a supposedly red state. Of course, Burns should win if he doesn't have a strong opponent, but he does, I believe.
Also, from what I've heard, he's stupid and a lousy debater, etc.
