Monday Morning Politics

Welcome to Monday Morning Politics – the place to catch up on the political stories from the weekend!

Almost every Monday I compile some of the political stories from the past weekend and put them in one place for all to see – and also offer some personal commentary!

Today I take a look at a super rich politician, I share the results of a poll, I check out who is on the ballot in Montana, I look at what Palin wrote, I write about Essmann getting out, I mention the “sweet 16″ who applied for a job in Helena, I talk about signs signs everywhere a sign, I let everyone know that the flim-flam man is heading east, and I wish a very happy birthday to one of my old bosses!

With the news and speculation that State Senator Jeff Essmann (R-Billings) will probably announce he is running for Governor tonight, the Montana Republican Party will have some work to do between now and January 12, 2012.

Before I get to the “work” part let me say that Essmann could be announcing he is becoming Rick Hill’s running mate, but most of my contacts (those on the right who still talk to me) believe he is running for Governor.  Hill does need someone from Montana’s largest city as his running mate.  If it’s not Essmann then he needs someone to help get votes from Billings in the primary and, if he gets that far, the general election.

Now to the work that will need to be done.  Continue reading →
