Monday Morning Politics

For the past several Mondays, we’ve taken a look at some of the political stories that hit the World Wide Web over the weekend.

Why?

Because we don’t really have a life here at The Western Word – and it’s so you won’t have to waste your time looking for the political stories.  Plus, you will seem more politically intelligent to your family and co-workers…and we know that is important to you.

This week we take a look at a silent tour, out of state money, social security, Sarah Palin, Denny and Jon, Jon and Denny, Missoula elections, Little League, and much more!

So grab something to drink and get your Monday started off right by knowing all the political news from the weekend! Continue reading

Along Came Perry

The boys and the girl vying for the GOP nomination for President in 2012 were having a great time in Iowa, attending the state fair (eating corn dogs and anything else that could be fried), participating in a debate on the Fox News Channel, and holding a straw poll.

All just seemed right in the world…

Just about the time it looked like there was a little clarity coming to the Presidential race with Michele Bachmann and Mitt Romney doing well and Ron Paul making a decent showing, along came Texas Governor Rick Perry. Continue reading

Bachmann Palin Overdrive

It’s kind of like Christmas when I hear about a new political poll coming out!  Instead of just cutting and pasting a few sentences from the poll to be the first one to break the news, I like to take a little time to “savor” the poll – and then let my readers know my thoughts.

Our friends at Public Policy Polling (PPP) have released a couple new polls with Montana ties.  One is a GOP Presidential poll that shows Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann leading Mitt Romney (that is if Sarah Palin stays off the ballot in 2012).

You can read about the poll HERE.

If Sarah Palin comes out to play, then she leads GOPers Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Ron Paul, Tim Pawlenty, and Mitt Romney in Big Sky Country.

That last sentence should be a key for every Montana Republican running for state-wide office.  At the top of their “To Do” list they should write:  1. Get Sarah Palin’s endorsement.  2. Get her to come to Montana to campaign for me.   Continue reading
