| So, what's with the Linda McCulloch Show?
She, like the Governor, now travels with an entourage.
Why just the other night at the Truman Dinner in Billings, she showed up with three staffers: State Rep. Galen Hollenbaugh (her deputy chief of staff), her chief of staff and her chief legal counsel. (kind of have to wonder who was running the real show in Helena that day.)
Lately, the Governor's daily schedule has been littered with references to the Secretary of State accompanying him around the state. On Wednesday, it's off to Lewistown.
Might it be that Joe Lamson and others have sprinkled the holy water and convinced Linda to abandon one corner office in the Capitol Building for another in 2012?
This could just be a reward for Linda's outspoken support and vote for the Otter Creek coal lease. It may also be a payback for Attorney General Steve Bullock (who is rumored to be systematically building momentum for a gubernatorial campaign) daring to part ranks with the Governor on the coal leases? This sort of in-your-face is so Schweitzer-like regardless of Linda's real intentions in 2012. |
