The Ravalli Republic has a big story today that should be statewide. Rep. Gary MacLaren, a fairly conservative (but reasonable) Republican from Victor, stepped down as treasurer of the Montana Republican Legislative Campaign Committee, saying"I didn't agree with the negative ads they were putting out. I was appearing on them as the treasurer and everybody figured I was behind it, which I'm not." To add insult to injury, I understand the MRLCC also put out a mailer with Rep. MacLaren's name on it encouraging residents of House District 88 to vote for Bob Lake. HD 88 is mostly in Hamilton, just down the road from Victor, but Bob is running for Senate this year. Making a sitting legislator look like a fool and a jerk in his own backyard is never a great strategy.
This is another blow to a Montana Republican Party that has repeated leadership troubles of the years. They're also clearly overly reliant on consultants focused on a national message but who don't quite understand the nuts and bolts of Montana's fairly small town politics. |
