In a tight election, and the Dem senatorial primary in Montana next Tuesday promises to be one of those,
every vote counts.
Paul Richards, the low-budget Democratic U.S. Senate candidate whose poll numbers trail well behind primary opponents John Morrison and Jon Tester, said Wednesday he's throwing his support to Tester in next Tuesday's primary election.
Richards said he thinks Tester is the best Democrat to defeat U.S. Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont., in the November general election -- and that Morrison, if nominated, would lose to Burns.
Because the Democratic primary battle between Tester and Morrison appears close, Richards said he doesn't want to take any votes away from Tester next Tuesday.
Richards said he'll vote for Tester and is asking his supporters to do the same.
The mo' is all Tester's.
