MT-Sen: It's Tester Time

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Burns 55
Tester 45

You heard it here first.

My how things change...

Ol Burnsy ain't got nothin to worry bout yet.

Is there still anyone here who honestly doesn't believe this guy was a class A hack? Too bad he's disappeared again, how much I would love to rub in his face his hackish delusions (especially Kennedy beating Klobuchar by at least 5, lololol)

While Tester has only won a few (not sure on how many) state senate elections in a traditionally democratic district.

Tester's the Senate Majority Leader and his district is among the most conservative in Montana.

I think he has the best shot of beating Burns. Tester is very similar to Governor Schweitzer, and that will play well in the state.

...and once again, Scoonie nailed it.

Every time someone resurrects one of these old threads, I am amazed at how hackish the republican posters were and how prophetic the Dem posters were in retrospect. There has to come a point sooner or later where we simply stop listening to the people who claim that Burns was going to be reelected in a walk and who still say that Santorum is going to be reelected, and they are usually the very same hacks.

You make a great point. Most of the people predicting a Santorum victory a year ago were saying that Mark Kennedy was the heavy favorite and Burns and DeWine were in no real trouble. Hell, most Republicans at the time were predicting that the GOP would pick up seats, or break even at worst.
