Governor Schweitzer Fires Up Idaho Democrats
Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer recently visited Boise and whipped up enthusiasm among his fellow Democrats in Idaho, according to the Idaho Statesman:
He was in Boise to pump up Idaho's Democrats, who haven't seen the recent success of their Montana counterparts. But standing outside the packed banquet room at The Grove Hotel, Schweitzer looked in at the Idaho Democrats and said they seemed a lot like the people who elected him. "I suspect we look and talk a lot different than they do on the East and West coasts," he said...
Schweitzer talks about huntin' and fishin' and campin' — "no g's" he said. His speech was too late for The Statesman's deadline, but he said not to worry — he hadn't written anything out, just like every speech he gives. Montana and Idaho have political differences, but Democrat Jerry Brady hopes to duplicate that state's success in his second run for governor. In the West, people hunt and fish on public lands, and Brady thinks they want to protect those lands, too.
