Yeah, I think they were hopeful but not expecting to take it.

Now, if they lose the special election in that Georgia seat  :lol:

The last poll had the Dem hopeful Ossof guy up by 7 points.

13 swing the Dems way since the Presidential Election.

There are a 120 GOP seats in districts further to the left in Montana. Just like the Kansas election, this one is lost but it points toward good things on the national level.

Now if Ossof loses, that's pretty bad, and would indicate the Dems would have a hard time taking back the house.

Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

They have a two term democratic senator.

In a 2015 talk at the Montana Bible College, Gianforte said the idea of retirement doesn't exactly match his religious beliefs.

"There's nothing in the Bible that talks about retirement. And yet it's been an accepted concept in our culture today," he said at the time, according to  a report in HuffPost. "Nowhere does it say, 'Well, he was a good and faithful servant, so he went to the beach.' It doesn't say that anywhere."

Gianforte, who is now 56, was then a potential candidate for governor of Montana. The tech entrepreneur — Gianforte founded a software company that was later sold to Oracle — had been traveling the state to promote the benefits of telecommuting.

"How old was Noah when he built the ark? 600," he said. "He wasn't like, cashing Social Security checks, he wasn't hanging out, he was working. So, I think we have an obligation to work. The role we have in work may change over time, but the concept of retirement is not biblical."

BB says that is fine, Canadian Conservatives say that stuff all the time. Just like us, these people deserve my support, he thinks.

So, what's this guy's employment plan for when he reaches the age of 600?

Maybe mathus is right and wal mart greeter is the best option. He can greet most people, and body slam foreign journalists from leftist publications, who are probably up to something if they are visiting a wal mart in montana.
