What are they thinking??

So the Lee Newspapers have reported that Sen. Max Baucus and Gov. Brian Schwietzer are publicly supporting Dennis MacDonald for party chair.

This is the guy who is not even a loyal democrat. He has publicly admitted to giving both parties money, and he is never ever present at party functions. He lives in Sweetgrass county and the Dem chair there has never even met him.

The Senator and Governor support stems from the fact that he will be able to bring "new blood" to the party, which may be true. But if he is elected it will alienate those who are loyal to the party, who have bled for the party and have earned their stripes. The party chair should not be some guy with no experience and no history at all with the party. It's ridiculous that he has any support let alone the support of Baucus and Schweitzer. RIDICULOUS!!

Another side note on the race for chair. Tracy Velazquez was asked by one of her male opponents to drop out of the race, because he feared that the vote would be split. He also said that he could represent women views just as well as she could. That's funny, I thought that women could represent women views better than men. And why does it always seem that in Montana the woman has to be vice-chair, why can't it be the other way around????
