Ummmmm....Montana?

Perhaps I am a bit late to finding this out but I just saw on 538 that Obama has just under a 1 in 4 chance of winning montana. Has anyone realized that Obama has a real shot at winning montana? When the he'll did that happen?

Nate Silver ?@fivethirtyeight

Sorry, we entered a Montana poll with the candidates' names reversed. Re-running forecast.

and O is not going to win there. My family in Butte and Missoula say that every yard sign is a Romney one while there is hardly an Obama sign. White racism at its best. My family in MT doesn't like me as I am mixed race. Go figure.

I am sorry your family doesn't like you because of your race. That is an awfully superficial way to treat anyone, especially a family member.

I hope that you will find us DUers a lot friendlier!

I'm glad you found us!

I'm sorry to read that your family in MT are like that toward you. I don't understand why anyone would judge a person by their race rather than the content of their character. It's so, I dunno, 1950's.

My my mom is 100% Flathead and my dad is white. Yes, I have a few DUI's and other run ins with the law, but the law is stacked against us on the rez. I moved away and went to school. But we people of color are still discriminated against. Yeah, I spent 4 years in a Texas prison, I did my time, but that doesn't count in my "family"s mind.
