(Wilmer v. ???) v. (Daines? v. ???) for House!

by: Matt Singer

Tue Feb 01, 2011 at 15:02:59 PM MST


Word is that Montana Rep. Franke Wilmer is seriously looking at jumping into the U.S. House race. Everything I hear is that Steve Daines will move over to the House race.

This field is nowhere near settled yet. Other names are bubbling, but nothing with quite the seriousness of Franke's.

Yes but, (0.00 / 0)
she's got no history.  Sorry, but to win that seat, ya gotta be just a bit more Montanaish.  Hey, don't blame me.  I didn't  make the friggin' rules.  I just point them out.  Her Montana bonafides are lacking.  Heck, even Cornpone Burns got here in '52 or so.  I'm just not seein' it.  Sorry.  Let's try again, shall we?  I've found that brutal honesty works best.  Now, if I'm wrong, by God I'll be happy to have her represent us.

Franke Wilmer is the perfect candidate for the Dems Larry - you need to get behind her !

How so, Eric? (0.00 / 0)
Please explain. Perfect in what way?  For you see, I read in the GF Spitoon this a.m. that her big issues are health care, renewable energy, and deficit reduction.  Anything in there tickle your fancy?  My question would be, WHERE'S THE BEEF?   Or more specifically, the red meat?  There's nothing there.  No red meat either for the left OR right.  And that might make her a hit with the undergrads she lectures to, but in the real world, it's a snoozer, and probably a loser!  So, is she perfect?  I don't think so.  Already she's got strikes against her, and it's three strikes and your out.  Hey, let's face it, Eric.  We're wackos.  We're Montanans!  We want guns, god, and gays!  What she SHOULD do first of all, just like Utah, is get us a state gun!  How 'bout a nice double barreled coach gun?  Yes, she needs a nice pic of her with a banolier and a double barrel.  THEN, she might begin to resonate!

I say she's perfect, because she would be the perfect 66-34 loser to Steve Daines - another Tracy Velasquez -


nobody knows steve daines either eric (0.00 / 0)
your chickens haven't hatched yet. and if mike halligan were to run i bet you would tone it down a little. born in billings . served two terms in vietnam. respected statewide.....

your little unknown pee wee steve daines would need a stepladder to even debate mike.

I would advise against discounting Daines running against a person who hasn't even declared yet.  The "base", all the rage for progressives to discuss, do know Daines.  And they like him, a lot.  He was the social conservative contrast to Roy Brown in the race for Governor.  He's got a head start on fund-raising, he's got name-recognition, huge Republican party support, and it doesn't appear that he will face a primary which the Democratic candidate will. (That last could be good or bad; We'll have to wait and see.)

I agree that Eric suffers from a really embarrassing premature ... problem.  He often does that.  But I also think that no one can assume that "nobody knows Steve Daines".  His political birth has been well favored, and that's where we should concentrate our efforts.

For the record, do you have any indication at all that Halligan will run?


[ Parent ]
just a rumor. mostly people urging him to run hope so. (0.00 / 0)
it would be nice to win this seat decisively.
