1. He's correct...

And his opponent's stance on abortion and public lands is why Tester will win. It's also why we call a lot of people carpetbaggers these days. A lot of new people moving in and trying to force changes that are not in our best interests and that's not going over well with those of us who have been here for decades and liked it best when Montana was purple.

At least DNCC is spending some money and effort here this time. First time I've seen any effort in twenty years.

2. Thanks! I've always been a big fan of Jon Tester, he knows his stuff, knows his state and, like you said, he's local

And how many (Republican) carpetbaggers have we seen in recent elections? And they routinely fail, they just don't know their stuff - or the area and their constituents. So glad that Lawrence gave him a platform tonight - and not for the first time.
