Brian Schweitzer, the former Democratic governor of Montana who may run for president in 2016, spoke Wednesday night to Progress Iowa, a liberal grassroots organization, in Altoona, Iowa. In his speech, Schweitzer criticized Democrats who voted for the Iraq war, a group that includes a potential rival for the Democratic nomination: Hillary Clinton.

Hillarys two accomplishments. Voting for the Iraq War and losing an ambassador. Way to go Hill. lol!

[Viennacon]

Schweitzer is looking to run

[skinkinthegrass]

Is he a Barrack or a Zell Miller Democrat...?

[Huskrrrr]

Don't the Dems realize it's Hillary's turn? /s

[woweeitsme]

I get the feeling that Schweitzer could be trouble for Hillary. He’s someone who is “folksy” and relates to the “working man”. Hillary is neither of those things.

[Tulane]

Or looking for an assurance to become a cabinet member in exchange not to run.

[Viennacon]

He’s also a big union guy, and the current establishment Dem class have pi88ed on their union support big time.

[ExCTCitizen]

A LIBERAL GROUP? It would be NEWSWORTHY if the Dems had a CONSERVATIVE GROUP.

[Gay State Conservative]

Hard to say whether he realizes it (he probably does but it's not certain) but he is *exactly* what the Former Twelfth Lady needs...and wants...someone to run to her *left*.A great great way to appear like a “moderate”.
