Since the very beginning of this blog, I've been arguing that the future of the Democratic Party is in the Inter-Mountain West: Montana. Colorado. New Mexico. Nevada. Arizona.

Think big, Barack! Pick Gov. Schweitzer as your running mate! A western rancher who drives a pickup, speaks Arabic, wears a bolo tie, spent years living in Saudi Arabia, has a Masters in Soil Science, brings his dog to work in a truck, is an opponent of REAL ID, believes in gun control (as in "you control your gun and I'll control mine"), and oh yeah... has a history of turning a very red state blue? He's perfect.
