Bad news for Dems: Ex-Montana Governor passes on Senate race



Already facing a tough fight in next year’s mid-term election, Senate Democrats received some very bad news this morning. The Associated Press is reporting that former Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D-MT), will not run for the seat left open by the retirement of Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT).Given his popularity in the traditionally red-leaning Montana — where he served for two terms and left office with a 56% approval rating — Schweitzer was considered to be Democrats’ best hope of keeping the seat in their hands.
