From the Helena Independent Record:
Bob Keenan, the top Republican leader in the Montana Senate, said Thursday he is considering challenging Sen. Conrad Burns in the primary election because he is “concerned” about Burns’ re-election chances because of a lobbying scandal.
The Montana Democrats have done an excellent job of making the case against Burns, who was really tied in to Jack Abramoff (See our bio here for just how tied in). But last week’s Vanity Fair piece has really sent the Republicans into a panic. It’s easy to see why:
“Every appropriation we wanted [from Burns’ committee] we got. Our staffs were as close as they could be. They practically used Signatures as their cafeteria.”
