Now the Montana Senate race has always been, and will remain a lock for Max Baucus. But now that Montana republicans have chosen their challenger. I thought I'd introduce him to you...
Meet Bob Kelleher.
Now I'm not cherry picking photos to make Kelleher look bad. This is the one and only photo off of his website. In fact this the only photo I've ever found of him.
Kelleher ran for Senate as a Democrat in 2006 and 1988 and has also ran as a member of the Green Party in 2002. Oh, and one more thing...
The guy's absolutely insane.
He's been running for office for over 40 years now for whatever office strikes his fancy. (including president in 1976) His biggest issue over the years has been to change the Montana and/or U.S legislative branch into a unicameral parliment. He's also on board with such Republican issues as stricter gun control, banning tax cuts and legalizing marijuana.
It seems with Baucus a lock and previous front runner Michael Lange being a total douchebag, Montanans went for the crazy guy for a few laughs.
RNSC: Please get this guy some TV ads.
