"Brian Schweitzer is the Democrats' last best hope."
-Al Franken, Air America
"He's America's hottest governor...A prairie populist in a blood-red state."
-Rolling Stone
"Half renaissance man, half rodeo cowboy, ready to take on the world."
-Leslie Stahl, 60 Minutes
"A hero to progressives, and beneath the boots and bluster a policy wonk and science whiz."
-New York Time Magazine
And yeah, Schweitzer doesn't fear San Francisco values like entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity.
Update: Two trivia items -- 1) Schweitzer speaks near-fluent Arabic, having lived in Saudi Arabia six years; and 2) his bachelors degree is in agronomy (the study of crops and the soil they grow in) and his M.S. in soil science.
