Fox was an old-school MT Republican, for sure. And the state party spent a lot of time and effort grooming him for the office. But GG had the money, the national attention, and the votes of all the new-school, very loud, more right-wing political refugees fleeing from liberal states like CA. Which ultimately mattered more.
Is there a real chance a sitting governor, especially one with money, would get challenged in a primary?
The last time the GOP intelegencia played that stupid game was 2006, when they thought Jon Tester was the weak sister. How did that work out for them?
No I don't think so. I was meaning if there were no consequential Republican primaries, Republicans would vote in the Dem primary for the weaker Dem candidate to give Greg a leg up in the general. But it seems like Rosendale will try to challenge Sheehy for the GOP nomination for Senate because he's delusional enough to think even one single person actually likes him, and there will likely be a bundle of candidates going for the Eastern District house seat. Any smart republican would aim to have literally anyone in the world other than Rosendale up against Tester, and would probably choose to vote for that person rather than whoever is challenging Busse for the Dem Governor nod.
The liberal media sure wants Rosendork to run against Sheehy.
What type of link is that?
Just my attempt at a joke. I think mtmuley has a future in book reviewing…
Pithy yet erudite, as any good literary critic should be.
