I wouldn't say that Rehberg is a weak candidate, unless he had learned nothing and forgot everything from his last attempt. He is a still a former six times state wide elected official who would be running for an open seat this time instead of against an incumbent.

NC Yankee, honestly Rehberg is just a serial senate loser, two races lost, if the Pubs nominate him, it's just depressing for the gop.

Well, two senate races lost:

And the other in 2012.

When did he lose a previous Senate race? I don't think going up against Baucus back in the day or something counts.

Baucus was a very popular incumbent for many years, no, decades.

So we shouldn't count all the races where Rehberg wasn't really targeted during his service too?
So on his 6 victories for the house of representatives: only one was really a difficult race, against Nancy Keenan in 2000. Though I'm not sure it was a success, after all it was during a presidential year where Bush carried easily Montana!

Rehberg's lost twice, last time was very winnable. Daines will be the Pub candidate in MT.

Most likely so, but Daines is still a first term rep with a short voting record (cuts both ways) and limited experience as a politician.

What I am saying is there needs to be perspective and lets neither over, nor underestimate various aspects of these possible candidates, especially when we don't know who the Democrat will be and it could still be a seasoned political veteran.

Yankee, you're completely right. Rehberg is much better than Champ Edmund for instance. But they shoud try with an another candidate. For example, Rick hill, the gop nominee for MT governor, it was a really tight race and he's a former representative.

But honestly, Daines will be probably the nominee, so they won't have to recruit an another Pub.
