I have been wondering off and on why Democrats are doing so well in Montana lately. Is it the people-powered movement out there? Sure, that plays a part. Is it our great candidates? Obviously, that is a factor. But I really helps if you are running against incompetents. The Tester campaign has compiled a five-minute video of the greatest hits of Conrad Burns from this past summer. It isn't an ad that will appear on TV, but if you have any friends in Montana, send it to them. This is hilarious:
I don't want to take anything away form Jon Tester, but not every Democratic challenger is blessed with an incumbent Republican like Burns. Jon Tester is on the netroots page.
