MT-Sen: John Walsh out, Amanda Curtis in

[Maxwell]

A nonstory.

Why aren't they going after Rand Paul for plagiarizing stuff?

They did. Walsh's plagiarism is far far worse than anything Paul did.

I don't think people care about plagiarism that much, but this is still pretty toxic considering if he got caught right when he wrote it, he would be in a much different place than the U.S. Senate.

[Maxwell]

Walsh is a pretty awful candidate, Dems should have nominated Bollinger, they made a mistake anointing Walsh, he's going to crash and burn and they are going to lose this seat. Bollinger would have won

Bohlinger is 78 years old. That's too old to be running for your first term.

Well he did say he'd only serve one term, but yeah I agree that Walsh is the better candidate.

Bohlinger is not a plagiarist who may get his degree revoked though.

[Maxwell]

Walsh is contemplating whether to drop out. Keenan, Bohlinger or Schriock are being mooted as replacements.

John Tester's "This is not a death knell" just got a lot more hilarious.

[Maxwell]

I doubt Schweitzer would run, but if he does, it would be a very competitive race even with his comments about Feinstein. However, I suspect it will be some random state legislator, in which case, congratulations Senator Daines!

lol wut about Max Baucus?

lol wut about Max Baucus?

No, he gave up his position to be ambassador.

The seat is gone. Maybe Bohlinger can lose respectably.

the "wut" was an indicator that I was joking.
