Moreover, as I was acting boss of my department, I took off work early to go get some retail politicing/fundraising/drinking done with our boy the next Senator from Montana... Jon Tester! Tester said it was the kind of fundraiser he liked and could afford. I agree with that! After some engaging Q&A and engaging beer drinking, we headed over to drinking liberally at Zeitgeist... where we proceeded to do exactly that.

The amount of (virtual) ink that has been spilled on smearing the hell out of the two candidates is something that I frankly find appalling, and I think it's time we do something about it, before this damn thing spirals out of control and gets particularly nasty. So, I'm proposing some rules for diaries on the subject.

Senator Max Baucus was the first politician I volunteered for, yet I now view him as being worse for the Democratic Party than Zell Miller. The maturation I've experienced is a process that Democrats, for the good of our Party, need to embrace. That is why next year's Senate Primary in Montana is critical to the future of our Party. rss@dailykos.com (Bob Brigham) bobbrigham Montana _153139 Fri, 30 Sep 2005 18:50:37 +0000 Is Max Baucus Brain Dead? https://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/9/20/150644/-Is-Max-Baucus-Brain-Dead As a Montanan this disappoints me. As a Democrat, this pisses me off. Montana Senator Max Baucus is a skittish senator known for bolting and running. In fact, Senator Baucus has quite a reputation for running. On November 22 of last year Baucus was running from something for 50 miles when he hit his head on a rock and needed <a href="http://www.missoulian.com/articles/2004/01/10/news/top/news01.txt">urgent brain surgery</a>.
