democratic governor of montana, brian sweitzer. thanks for joining me governor. i appreciate it. >> good to be on. >> so he was appointed back in february, giving him name recognition but making it more difficult for him to run as an outsider. how do you see his strategy unfolding? and does this cut both ways that he was actually appointed? >> understand montana politics, you need to know during the last 60 years, 16 presidential elections, only one democrat has got to 50%, that was lbj. clinton won montana with 37% because old big ear, remember that, perot, he got 25% in montana. let's get to john walsh and the senate race. if the election were held today, steve dains would probably win it. this is a low-information election right now. people don't really know john walsh and they don't know steve
