Looking at the ridings - Montana could shift with enough votes for Conrad but it will be close.
The fact that its his home riding might win it for him but 17XX is alot of ballots to make up.
I personally hope the Republicans hold the Senate, in the US its never good to have one part control both houses no matter what party it is.
I am thankful that there are stark differences between the two right of centre parties in Canada and the US. I am as right as you get without owning a gun and I would have a difficult time voting for the Republicans as a part because of the constant big biz money racket. If I was down there I would probably be voting more for the candidate than the party.
If Tester does win in Montana, I would give it less than a year before a complete exodus from Iraq. Personally I would like to see 6 months but.
Does anyone know, what needs to be done to get troops from exiting Iraq. Since its no longer a "wartime" act over there can an act of Congress get the troops out? I know the Prez is Commander and Chief of the US military but the Military oversight comitees and such close bases all the time, is Iraq now considered a "military base" that can be closed?
