MT-AL: Rob Quist (D) vs. Greg Gianforte (R) vs. Mark Wicks (L), May 25

Seems like a good choice!

I wonder if he'll get the grassroots fundraising boost that Ossoff did.

Went to Quist's website and it is.. worryingly unprofessional. I get that is part of his charm but hopefully the party can lend him someone to clean it up now that he's the candidate.

update: Went to the site on my laptop and it is much clearer. When I made this post I was on my phone.

750k for someone like Quist isn't a bad haul at all. He'll obviously be outspent by a lot though.

Thanks for putting a poll in the field cinyc!

If we take the trend in the Google surveys seriously, then it seems like the attacks on Quist have made an impact. Unfortunate, but not surprising.

Or Google Surveys are trash.  Consider that Castro ran a Google Survey immediately after my Quist +17 likely outlier, and found the race tied.

Yeah, this is likely the case. The "if" in my statement was doing a lot of work.

Going to take the opposite view of most of the responses so far and say I think that it's an effective hit on Quist. It produces headlines and makes him look less like a serious contender. I don't think it will have a huge effect or anything but it will definitely make headlines because it's funny.
