The Morrison Campaign: Getting Shrill in the Last Few Days

4. June 2006

I just received this e-mail from the Morrison campaign this evening. No, the "Fact Check" was not attached. Signed by State Senator Jeff Mangan, Larry Anderson. and Matt Thiel, the letter lays out the case why I should vote for John Morrison, including this passage: John Morrison’s campaign has the momentum in this race. And the [...]

Jon Tester: The Best Choice on Tuesday (Our Endorsement)

2. June 2006

3 Comments

As has become increasingly apparent, the authors of this site believe that Jon Tester should be the candidate that Democrats choose to challenge Conrad Burns in Novermber. If Democrats want to send Conrad Burns back to Missouri, Jon Tester is the man to do it, and we are happy to endorse his candidacy. We entered [...]

Jon Tester’s Got the Momentum; Conrad is in Big Trouble

27. May 2006

The latest Lee/Mason-Dixon poll is in, and the numbers look good for Jon Tester, and terrible for Conrad Burns. Tester has pulled even with Morrison, despite still having lower name recognition. Burns is losing to both Morrison and Tester, but most amazingly, seems to be barely leading Paul Richards. In a matchup between the [...]

Great piece in the IR today by Mike Dennison about where our junior Senator’s money comes from. Here’s a hint: it isn’t from Montanans. When you look at the numbers in the piece, it sure makes Conrad’s good ol’ Montana boy routine seem even more tired. So where do Conrad’s contributions come from? 83% comes from non-Montana [...]

Anyone Seen My Softball?

I must have left it here. I’m sure someone else will have deeper thoughts on this piece by Charles Johnson, but a couple of items stood out: A Morrison campaign document quotes Luke 12:48: “Every one of whom much is given, of him much will be required.” No words. Although the topic went unmentioned during his recent day on [...]

Cathy Siegner relates an interesting discussion with John Morrison and Tylynn Gordon, campaign manager for the Morrison campaign. Finally, the mystery of Morrison’s claim of a factual error in the Independent article was revealed: Telling me after the debate that the Independent article suggests “the state auditor’s office dropped the ball and the feds picked it [...]

What Inaccuracy, Mr. Morrison?

5. May 2006

0 Comments

One of the most interesting moments in the debate last night–noted by Matt, the AP and me, was the claim by John Morrison that the Missoula Independent was factually inaccurate, but did or could not explain how. A poster over at Left in the West, Toland, tried to justify Morrison’s silence on the details: Hmmm……IT’S A [...]
