Burns: First at Being Last
On the bright side for Senator Burns, he has some company at the bottom of the list, finally. Survey USA lists the Senator as having the lowest Net Approval of any U.S. Senator, at -10%. That means 42% (and the Independent Record) approve, while 52% do not. Those are huge negative numbers for the Senator, [...]

Every time that Jason Klindt, Senator Burns’ hired-gun “campaign spokesman,” opens his mouth, he says something funny. It appears that the Montana Legacy Fund is running a new Burns ad calling into question his record on senior issue. It’s fairly typical: it calls on Burns to answer why he cut Medicade and Medicare.
