Why did Rehberg lose? He was an nonentity to rank and file GOP. He seemed to be a nice enough guy but to win against an anything goes campaigner like Tester he needed to be a better fighter. I never got real engaged in that contest but it appeared that the reason Denny lost was because he tried to ride the race out thinking he’d squeak by. Someday the GOP will learn that they need to treat every race like its hand to hand combat and have one intention to eviscerate their opponents and smear the Democrat party at the same time. The Democrats are experts at this and of course have allies in the media but at a minimum we can reach parity and make sure that moderates hate the Democrats just as much as they hate the GOP which was a big part of Obama’s strategy against Romney.
Montana needs to find a native Ted Cruz.
Rehberg was a GREAT Congressional Rep. for the state of Montana. Well respected, and lived in his Congressional office rather than lease/buy a dwelling and use his housing stipend. A good man.
Hope he gives it another shot.
Schweitzer(D) past gOVERNOR of MT is considering a run for Max B’s Senate seat. Schweitzer is one of the ‘bad ones’ in our country (IMHO), but liked by the watermelons in Montana.
Should be interesting...
