A friend informed me that U.S. Senator Max Baucus has opened eight campaign offices in Montana and hired 35 full-time campaign staff. There was a story about his “job creation” in the Capitol Hill Newspaper, Roll Call (accessed by subscription only), today (February 26, 2008).

Holy Cow Batman!

I wonder how long it will be before the media in Montana pick up on the story? It would be nice to know how many of these 35 campaign folks are from Montana, since about 91% of his campaign donations are from out of state. I also wonder who created his campaign website and if they are a Montana business? Maybe someone will e-mail me or leave a comment?

According to his U.S Senate website, Max has seven senate offices. For reelection purposes, he’s opened eight campaign offices. Hmmm.

Nonetheless, with his 35 campaign staff, plus about 20-25 state senate staff, plus the staff from the Finance Committee, and his D.C. Office, Senator Baucus will have a heap of help for election 2008.
