Well this makes the race a lot less predictable. Something tells me Burns will survive the primary, but if his primary opponent has the funding, he might be in for some trouble.
A win in a tough primary is not always a bad thing, in 1986 my former U.S. Senator Bob Packwood had a brutal primary in a political environment slightly similar to 2006. He won the primary by 12% (Not great for an 18 year incumbent) and energized from the primary victory he scratched his way through the general election.
Here is hoping that, whoever carries the Republican banner for the U.S. Senate in Montana this November, the party can unify behind the nominee.
Hopefully Burns will run on being the next Packwood.
I know you are a very dedicated Republican, but don't you find many of the comments Burns has made...unnerving?
