2012 Senate Race

Dennis Rehberg’s Libertarian Problem: He Doesn’t Protect Liberty

March 10, 2012

I think it’s wonderful news that Montanans who identify as Libertarians will have the opportunity to vote in the Senate race for someone who represents their views. While I certainly don’t share many views in common with the Libertarian party, they do represent a substantial portion of the Montana electorate—and it’s great news that retired [...]

Fiscal Conservative Dennis Rehberg Costs City of Billings $21,000 in Legal Fees

March 6, 2012

It seems Representative Rehberg only has the appearance of fiscal conservatism when it comes to giving tax breaks to the wealthiest of Americans and when threatening to cut Pell Grants for poor and middle class students. When it comes to the people of his hometown, though, Mr. Rehberg is perfectly willing to waste money. It [...]

Baucus, ‘I’ve got your back, Jon’

March 1, 2012

Politico had a very interesting piece today regarding our senior Senator and K Street Lobbyists. Democrats on K Street are warning their corporate clients: Give to Republican challengers in the 2012 election, and you’ll regret it come tax reform time.

Rehberg makes the Oscars

February 27, 2012

Catch the Oscars this evening?  Well, Rehberg made at least two appearances during the 3 hour program.  The ad called out Rehberg on the issue of public land access, which is becoming an increasing problematic issue for the Congressman.  Remember these three spots? Rehberg: Public land is my “Privately owned land” and No Rehberg Land [...]

February 20, 2012

In his analysis of the funds raised in the 2012 Montana Senate race, Matt Gouras pointed out a detail that has to make Representative Rehberg nervous. It seems that he’s having an awfully hard time raising money from the people he ostensibly represents: Tester has also been winning the money war in contributions collected from [...]

Tester Campaign goes after Rehberg on undisclosed spending

February 19, 2012

Senator Tester’s campaign is currently running a Facebook ad targeting Developer Denny’s support for the Citizens United and unbridled corporate spending in our elections. I may be mistaken, but up till now, I believe all of Tester’s Facebook ads have focused on Tester himself.  This may be the campaign’s first ad targeting Rehberg – again, [...]

Made in Montana, Written in D.C. More Failure from Representative Rehberg

February 14, 2012

It’s almost as if Representative Rehberg has never run a real campaign before. Consider his latest stunt, in which he claimed he was offering a “made in Montana” solution to outside influence in Montana politics. It turns out that Rehberg’s “Made in Montana” pledge was written by yet another Beltway insider, as ABC News reports: [...]

Rehberg Should Focus on the Common Sense of the Tester Proposal, Not Dollars and Cents

February 10, 2012

I’ve been thinking more about Erik Iverson’s response to Senator Tester’s proposal for a ceasefire to limit the amount of money spent by unaccountable third parties in the Montana Senate race. Iverson, who has been running Rehberg’s campaigns and/or Congressional office for years, told The Hill: “This is certainly an interesting proposal by Senator Tester,” [...]
