Yikes! The bar for Montana Republicans to challenge the Good Guv and Senator Baucus in their upcoming re-election bids has gotten dang high. Get a load of the duo's financial reports:

Brian Schweitzer has raised a record $775,489 for the gubernatorial race, and Max Baucus has raised $7.4 million for his election bid.

Meanwhile, no Republican has stepped forward to challenge Schweitzer, and Baucus' sole challenger - Mike Lange - has raised $5,000.

Now, putting aside the issue of the role that money - wrongly, IMHO - plays in U.S. elections, that's good news for Montana Democrats. That kind of financial backing that early should scare off challengers, and Schweitzer and Baucus can concentrate on the statewide ticket.
