Dems 2008: Governor Brian Schweitzer

Posted by Bob Brigham

As Bowers noted, I showed Governor Schweitzer the MyDD straw poll on Tuesday. He said people who voted for him were "smoking pinecones."

Yet in the first 1,000 votes, Schweitzer did better than Biden, Bayh, and Vilsack -- combined.

This talk had better come to an abrupt end before we run out of pinecones.

Warner is steadily climing the polls... WATCH OUT!

I think Schweitzer will make a great President some day. Just not sure he'll have the experience by 2008. He's definitely my kind of Democrat, though, and I suspect he'd be most of America's kind of political leader some day.

Not yet. Schweitzer wouldn't have even served a full term when he starts campaigning.
