Are there any Montana members besides me?

The map on the link should piss you off! Everyone seems to think that Zinke and Daines will both win. Does that bother you like it bothers me? I think both Lewis and Curtis have a good chance at winning but to with all this negative, already lost BS going around.
What do you think?

Check out the Montana Cowgirl Blog.

There is a Meet and Greet in Helena on Friday night. Tester, Curtis, Lewis and the Governor will be there.

in SW corner. Hope Burke gets in the legislative seat for HD64. I have a little hope but not holding my breath on most seats in play this time around. At least it isn't Idaho. Not that I don't like Idaho, wonderful real estate... scary as hell political environment.

I hope you're not in Ravalli County, they are really out there.
Check with the Montana Democratic office on line to see if your county has a Democratic committee that you can help out. It could be as simple as phone calls once a week or distributing yard signs.
Good luck in your local elections, they mean a lot, especially if we want to pass expanded Medicaid and save our rural hospitals.

our rural towns really need the help. I'm in Gallatin but can't campaign as I am employed by a federal agency... but I vote in EVERY election, local or larger. I do keep up on the political goings on all the same since I am acquainted with some of the players and all politics affect my employment situation.

Lived in Idaho for quite a while before I came across the border. I was tired of smashing my head against the wall of willful ignorance and dogma when I was involved in NGOs there. Ugh!
