	Schweitzer for President
		Schweitzer, a Democrat in his first term, marches into a barroom in blue jeans and cowboy boots and a beaded bolo tie, and his border collie, Jag, leaps out of the vehicle and follows him in.
		Schweitzer’s “Montana miracle,” in which Democrats took back the governor’s seat after 16 years and ended 12 years of Republican majorities in both state chambers, has been cited as evidence that the Republican bastions in the Western states are losing ground to a new, Democratic brand of libertarian-tinged prairie populism.
		Schweitzer is a key backer of I-153, the ballot initiative that would reform lobbying in Montana by requiring a two-year cooling off period for legislators, appointed state officials, elected state officials, and personal staff of elected state officials before they can become licensed lobbyists.

		We’ve heard a lot of scandalous accusations against Brian Schweitzer over the past year, but the most bizarre of all came directly from the candidate’s mouth yesterday in an apparent lapse of lucid thought.
		Perhaps Brian is getting so accustomed to having to answer questions about his past that he has gotten mixed up on which items have actually come up and which skeletons are still hidden in his closet.
		Schweitzer has shown himself extremely sensitive to criticism, and he as publicly whined about reports of a private investigator looking into shady real-estate dealings in Forsyth and a so-called “push-poll’ being conducted by the RGA.

		Schweitzer is an avid outdoorsman and an A-rated NRA member, who will work to protect the 2nd Amendment rights of gun owners and preserve Montana's heritage of open access to public lands for hunting, fishing and recreation.
		Schweitzer will work to create good paying jobs by encouraging investment in value-added industries that use Montana's abundant natural resources, like new ethanol plants to process Montana grain, new feedlots and meatpacking plants to process Montana beef, fertilizer plants to process our natural gas and furniture factories to add value to Montana timber.
		Schweitzer can be more independent because he's refused to take money from big corporations, like drug companies and insurance companies that overcharge us for healthcare and prescriptions and energy companies that dramatically increase electricity rates on working families.

		Schweitzer pooh-poohs any current interest in moving beyond Montana but I say we 'convince' him that he is needed nationally in 2008.
		Schweitzer, broad of shoulder, red of face and sure of self, was barnstorming in Big Sky country -- four towns in 11 hours, sweet-talking local Republicans, praising random Montanans for the excellence of their dogs and slapping backs in barrooms.
		That was Schweitzer's first go at elective politics and, in the wound-licking that followed, he found that men in Montana were 11 percent less likely to vote for him than were women.

		Brian Schweitzer, a 50-year-old Montana Democrat one year into his first term, said no future generation of Americans should have to go to war to secure foreign oil.
		Schweitzer was featured in a CBS "60 Minutes" segment Sunday as "Montana's Coal Cowboy," a plainspoken progressive who is pushing the use of coal and the "clean technology" of a gasification-to-liquid fuel process developed by a pair of German scientists in 1923.

		Schweitzer’s unwillingness to support the proposal that would bring an additional $2.7 million to schools and create 110 new jobs was grounded in a small technicality; the completion of unneeded yield study.
		On his refusal to increase timber production Schweitzer is even to the liberal-left of most of his own party, which overwhelmingly supported Brown's plan during the 2003 legislative session.
		Schweitzer’s has collected a total of $117,000 from lawyers; that’s more than $1 of every $10 he’s raised.

	Montana's landscape is changing -- will America's be next? \| By Rick Bass \| Grist \| Main Dish \| 18 Jan 2006
		Brian Schweitzer has only been the governor of Montana for a year, but already, among Democrats in the state and beyond, I sense a Clintonesque déjà vu creeping in, a relief that all will be all right, that our values are protected.
		Schweitzer single-handedly trounced the Republican Party in 2004, not just driving them from the capitol, but leading the charge to regain the state House and Senate as well -- but, bridge builder that he is, he chose state Sen. John Bohlinger, a progressive Republican, as his running mate.
		To his great credit, Schweitzer has sought to almost scornfully diminish such enthusiasms, as if sensing that they might disrupt the business of running what is a very small state, population-wise -- a state that just happens to be the size of, and possesses far more natural resources than, many European nations.

	"Top Billings" by David Sirota
		Schweitzer put himself through college by mopping floors at sororities, got a master's degree from Montana State in, of all things, soil science, and then worked for eight years on irrigation projects in the part of the world that's hardest to irrigate—the Sahara Desert.
		Schweitzer's message was so effective that at one debate, Brown was forced to admit he didn't really know whether lawmakers should be allowed to become corporate lobbyists immediately after leaving the legislature, as Brown himself had done only a few years before.
		Schweitzer's outsider appeal was bolstered by his running mate, John Bohlinger, a Republican state senator and a small businessman from Billings.

		As you may recall, Schweitzer's election in 2004 was one of the few Democratic bright spots in an otherwise miserable election cycle.
		Schweitzer argues that his plan not only is more fair, but that it is a more effective way to ensure the rebates actually go toward spurring Montanaâs economy, rather than sinking with barely a plop into rich folkâs investment portfolios or padding the dividends of out-of-state stockholders....
		In offering his plan, Schweitzer appears to have humiliated local Republicans, who were caught off guard and have been sputtering and disorganized in their response.

		Schweitzer beat Brown and brought some new Democrats to Helena on his coattails, adding seats in the Montana House, and actually gaining a slim majority in the Senate.
		Schweitzer carried the fast-growing college and ski towns of this region such as Bozeman, Missoula, and Kalispell, not to mention Butte, a Democratic stronghold thanks to its blue collar, mining-union history.
		Schweitzer further inflamed the issue by proposing the ludicrous idea that all of those 4,200 bison in Yellowstone be rounded up and tested for brucellosis.
