Brian Schweitzer ia an engineer, businessman and above all a Democrat who won in a red state.
Further Brian Schweitzer has managed to run the State of Montana without deficits, In fact, Montana has a surplus and a rainy day fund.
We need more politicians who actually have done real work, done it well and successfully. Brian knows the energy markets real well. He has lived overseas.
Remember his rousing speech during Obama's nomination acceptance. This guy is for real. He is not one who speaks down to people. We need people who oversaw the executive running of a successful state that has avoided deficit spending and knows how to talk to normal people.
