There is a proposed gold mine that was nixed in November/December... it's right at the edges of YNP and a large wilderness area and will mess up the water and peaceful lives of the residents near by. And he promised not to let that go through, now he's pushing it forward. That should tell you all you need to know about what Zinke would do. He's a T party shill and was elected under some shady activities to boot.

I'd love to see him go down with the cabal.

To fill Zinke's spot?

om radio, he's got fair shot. He's a well known down-to-earth kind of guy, not a politician-which really helps him right now-and his opponent is spending too much $$ trying to tar and feather him, with little success. We had enough of that guy when he was running for governor last year. The biggest thing the opponent can lob at Quist is that he has outstanding medical bills or filed for bankruptcy over medical debt... that's it. And since there are thousands of Montanans who have had the same problem with the medical industrial complex, they are more likely sympathetic to Quist's issue than holding it against him. And he's a damned good musician too.

I think he's got a good chance at winning, and the R debacle in DC is making him look better all the time.

When's the election? Our daughter moved to Bozeman last summer from where we live in eastern Washington!

Last day to register to vote for it is 4/25. Bozeman is the nearest big city to me, about an hour away, maybe a little more. Hope your daughter is able to survive there, it's too expensive for a lot of us to live there, lots of retirees from California and elsewhere, and lots of second trophy homes, low wages for the working folks.

Too bad. Such a great area. She may go for an MA in education at MSU. I don't believe teachers are well paid in MT.

I wish your daughter well.

If so, she wouldn't choose education as her profession. Just enough to live on.

She is our only child, so at least we can help her out a little. She's 24.

Thank you!

Everything drumf stands wants to pass hurts people in Nunes' districts/community. In Nunes' case, though, his constituents are in the demographics categories that would suffer the most: low income, low educated (drumf's favorite demographics, we all know), high amount of substance abuse/youth issues/few professional jobs in the area/mostly agricultural-farmers.

Seems these two have fallen head over heels for drumf, thinking he will deliver them power/money/influence. And we see where that is leading Nunes..smack dab into a political firestorm/career destruction.

that's what his downfall is looking like.
