MT-Sen: Montana Auditor John Morrison Runs for US Senate
Moooooo:
From the AP:
HELENA -- Democratic State Auditor John Morrison, a former Helena attorney who has spearheaded efforts to make health insurance more affordable for Montanans, announced Monday his bid for U.S. Senate against Republican incumbent Sen. Conrad Burns.
News of the campaign was not unexpected. Morrison, 43, was considered a likely challenger to Burns and had been soliciting donations in recent weeks on a Web site offering information on how to contact his campaign.
"As a Montanan, I'm very concerned about the way things are going in Washington, D.C.," Morrison said in a written statement. "And so I've been talking with lots of my fellow Montanans about a bid for the United States Senate in 2006, and have begun laying the groundwork for a Senate campaign."
Commentary From The Swing State Project:
"Senator Conrad Burns is heading to the slaughter house come November 2006 and whoever wins the Democratic primary will need to find a place to live in D.C.
Burns is running for his fourth term, after breaking his oath to serve only two. Burns has a 36% re-elect number, is up-to-his hat in a corruption scandal, and has a voting record that shows complete disdain for the interests of Montana families. If the feds don't send Burns to jail, the Montana voters will send him packing."

Im not sure to be honest, but any Democrat has a chance. Burns' re-elect numbers are dropping like a brick and he is knee-deep in scandal.
TheresNoMoney:
Any word on whether Jon Tester will run?
Joe Republic:
What's the Swing State project? Is it partisan?
And I wonder if Burns will even bother to run for re-election if his numbers are that low. Damn, the Republicans are having a hard time in Montana right now.
