1. K&R

2. Go Bernie! nt

[beam me up scottie]

3. Awesome!

The fact that a progressive even has a shot in blood red Montana is encouraging.

Go Rob and Bernie! GOTV for the Singing Cowboy!

[MontanaMama]

4. Gonna miss them in Missoula.

Will be out of town for work. Darn it!!! We're suffering through nonstop ads for Gianforte on local tv and radio up here. Hoping to pull out an upset in favor of Rob Quist!!

5. Anyone know how Sanders did in Montana?

Montana's not all that liberal. In fact it's rather conservative. I wonder how this will play out and hope it doesn't have the same results as that mayoral race.

7. He beat Hillary in the primary

trump won the state.

9. Trump won the state. Bigly.

Here's hoping Bernie's a help in this case. Lots of Quist's fundraising FB posts feature pic of Bernie so he's clearly going after those donors. I'm more surprised at the presence in MT though.

I've been donating (long before the Bernie pics showed up) and hope to hell Quist wins!

11. However, they have a Democratic governor and senator

[JNelson6563]

13. That can mean nothing.

And, coming from MI, I know all about this.

[crazycatlady]

14. to me, it means that Democrats can get elected

I believe their governor was re-elected last year (his name escapes me) at the same time the state voted for Cheeto.

It also means that when you figure out vote totals, you have a baseline of a successful Democratic race to look at.

[JNelson6563]

15. Oh yes, it can mean that!

It can mean many things. Michigan. We have it all and then some as far was what it means goes.

I am hopeful about Montana (I have supported Quist more than the other special elections & causes I've been donating to). Guess I'm skittish after that mayoral race bad judgement.

[crazycatlady]

17. I've worked on many races

And it is so much easier to write a field plan and to find out where the votes are when there's a history of a Democrat winning the district.

[JNelson6563]

18. Same here though it can depend

redistricting can play a role and how long ago said district went Dem. MI has been quite a thing to scratch the head over. It can be a bit like Montana, fickle.

[crazycatlady]

19. Montana doesn't have to worry about redistricting

And they have recent Dem winners in 2012 and 2016.

I had to do a field plan for an R-30 district. Finding votes was next to impossible.

[JNelson6563]

21. lol you have my sympathies

If you're ever bored look at the electoral map of northern MI. OMG And yeah, lucky MT on the gerrymandered US House!

[crazycatlady]

22. I've been in some pretty red turf

Try southwest VA. The district is not gerrymandered though (hard to gerrymander 28 counties).

I very well could be sent to MI. THat's one state that I haven't been to yet and I'm always trying to check one more off my list.

[JNelson6563]

23. Let me know if you head north!

I'll be glad to connect you with the resistance!

[crazycatlady]

24. I'm actually hopefully heading to NYC for some locals there

I've gone into NYC a lot since Drumpf took office. I'm known as the pussyhat girl.

(Originally from NY-- HIllary Clinton territory). Now living in NJ but have worked in 9 states.

[SecularMotion]

10. He's popular among Trump voters

A recent poll of Trump voters by the University of Virginia found that while Clinton’s favorable rating among them is just 3 percent, Sanders polls drastically better, with 21 percent viewing him positively.

12. Heartening news!

[mountain grammy]

6. Go Bernie!

[NCTraveler]

8. This will help Quist with even more funds.

That inflow of cash will be worth the sacrifice.

It would be a great win for us.

[Warren DeMontague]

16. Kick and Rec for Senator Bernie Sanders!

He's fighting for us, and that's why we support him!

[Trial_By_Fire]

20. Geez, where does Senator Sanders get all his energy?

Sanders is such an asset - going all over the USA promoting Dem candidates.

An unbelievable advocate of Democratic values and candidates...

[Donkees]

25. "I'm excited to have Bernie Sanders come to Big Sky Country to witness the grassroots support..."

Excerpt:

"I'm excited to have Bernie Sanders come to Big Sky Country to witness the grassroots support behind our campaign and share the message that we need more elected leaders fighting for working class families, instead of millionaires, corporations and special interests," Quist said in a statement.

In the final weeks of the race, recent polls reflect a tightening race. Democratic and Republican campaign committees, as well as outside groups, are continuing to pour money into the race.
