[cacklinggrackle] Montana Democrat beats party officials for

chance at Burns

[This is what we have to do, folks - any Democrat candidate with a

chance of winning will be opposed by the Democrat bigwigs before they

even get a crack at the Republicans. Anyone who uses the " wasted

vote " argument is de facto arguing for the current policies to stay in

place.]

 

 

" The winds of change - they are a-blowin' hard out here in the

heartland, no matter how much Washington, D.C. pretends they aren't.

Tonight, in a major upset, populist Democratic State Senate President

Jon Tester crushed his primary opponents, becoming the Democratic

nominee against vulnerable incumbent Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT). Tester,

a farmer from Big Sandy, ran against the Washington Establishment,

ignoring those who said he couldn't beat State Auditor John Morrison

(D) - the candidate that Democratic Party powerbrokers in Washington

tried to anoint. "
