Sounds like Schweitzer may be running

Schweitzer aide @BobBrigham tells me “This is Schweitzer’s nomination now. Back to plan A.” #MTSen #gamechange #disrupt


Schweitzer associate seems to think he is running according to State

Also my first post, cant post links due to it being my first post

Everybody's certain Schweitzer will run this time just as they were certain he was going to run before. Schweitzer is still a legitimate candidate for president because if Hillary doesn't run (about 35% chance she wont) then the Democratic nomination becomes a clown car allowing candidates like Schweitzer to gain traction.

No, he gave up his position to be ambassador.

The seat is gone. Maybe Bohlinger can lose respectably.

Honestly guys, this seat was a GOP pickup no matter what. If the Dems have to implode somewhere, I'd rather it be here as opposed to one of the many states with close races right now.

How does this change anything? It's been clear for a good while that Walsh was going to lose, and some could argue (though I wouldn't) that this seat was gone as soon as Schweitzer bowed out. Besides, MT is not in any way part of the Democratic path to a majority. In a scenario where Dems were winning MT, they were keeping the Senate easily.

The polls were tightening, and some here were convinced Walsh would win a tight one.

Yes, I even floated the idea myself. All I'm saying is that this doesn't change anything about the status of the majority.

It basically does this:
     • Removes a plank of the Democrats' safety net
     • Reduces the Democrats' margin of error
     • Puts added pressure on Hagan/Pryor/Landrieu/Udall/Begich

I guess so. I just really don't think that Montana has been part any realistic path to majority recently, meaning very little changes as our odds get worse there (like 10% to 1% or something, that's a rough estimate). A win in Montana would have been an upset and extra padding on what would be an already firm majority.

Gary Locke should consider running for U.S. Senate if someone in Washington state retires.

On topic, though, Bohlinger is the best sacrifice.

Bohlinger should have been the nominee in the first place,  I hope he runs, he can win unlike Walsh

Am I the only person who doesn't give a damn about plagiarism?  Obviously he should be embarrassed for doing it, but it's not like he assaulted somebody or something.  I didn't care when Rand Paul did it either.

Is there any evidence that John Walsh's life hasn't been exemplary except for the plagiarism accusation?

Nope. I'm surprised how much this really drug him down. Normally only sex scandals can do that.

The thought of someone getting an advanced degree for a short paper that was entirely plagiarized  still boggles my mind.

Yeah, I think that's the real crime here. How could a professor let that go?
