Gov Schweitzer Puts Fork In Self

<http://select.nytimes.com/preview/2006/10/08/magazine/1154648699328.html?pagewanted=all>

Schweitzer remains an iconoclast; he says he supported John McCain's presidential bid in 2000, though he has since soured on McCain because of the way he has courted the religious right, and he says he is now intrigued by the possibility of a presidential run by Mitt Romney, the Republican governor of Massachusetts, in 2008. "If he gets the nomination, I might support him," Schweitzer told me.

1. I got a virus alert when I hit that link...

Eeek. :shrug:

But the question to me to Governor Schweitzer would still be -- would you vote for the Democratic candidate OVER the Republican, and I'm quite sure he would.

3. easy

His Presidential ambitions took a serious hit. I thought he was a rising star. But you don't endorse a Republican for President, especially Bush-like Mitt Romney. The McCain support I could atleast understand.

4. He says he DOESN'T have presidential ambitions...

How the hell many times does the man have to say that he lives in "Bigsky Country" and wouldn't leave for anything???

I guess if you're in Montana, I could understand the interest.. :shrug:
