I do not understand how a state like Montana filled with really independant minded people who love their guns can remain so liberal. It just boggles the mind.

The MT Standard is based in Butte MT. When copper was king, it was the headquarters for unions and their cronies, becoming a Democrat stronghold. Old traditions are hard to break there, even though the local economy sucks and all the power brokers have moved out.

It might also be noted that the unions caused the Anaconda Co./Atlantic Richfield to leave the area and abandon the smelter in Anaconda and the Berkley Pit in Butte. 7000+ jobs lost. Not only did Atlantic Richfield leave the area, they dismantled the smelter, leaving only the "stack".
