MT-Sen: Keenan to Challenge Burns

Posted by DavidNYC

So Bob Keenan will indeed challenge Conrad Burns for the MT-Sen GOP nod. Tomorrow is Montana's filing deadline, so we'll see how things finally shake out. (Denny Rehberg is still the question mark.) I think that Burns is definitely in this for the long haul, though, and Keenan's move may wind up being a gift from heaven. If you're about to bail, you don't send forth your minions to say stuff like this:

"Conrad Burns has voted to lower taxes; Bob Keenan has a record of voting" to increase taxes, Jason Klindt said.

Let the games begin!

Oops, I just posted about this in the open thread, thinking that you hadn't seen it!

This is great news. I hope Burns emerges bloodied after this one.

The best of both worlds - Burns has an opponent and Rehberg is staying out!

Is there a chance Burns could lose.

maybe, if the abramoff thing gets too bad too quick he could lose and then the seat prob would be a projected 2-4% win for Keenan as opposed to a 2-4 % win for Morrison/Tester

It's nice that this time the Republicans are the ones facing a primary. My guess is that Burns survives this (unless, as said above, the Abarmoff thing really does explode), but he's gonna have to run a nasty campaign to do it. Let's just hope he alienates as many Republicans as possible!
