Tester's In

Since I wasn't all that excited about John Morrison's campaign to unseat incumbent $enator, Conrad Burns, I welcomed the story in today's Billings Gazette which indicates Jon Tester, a fellow wheat farmer, will be making an anncouncement this coming week.

Tester, fresh from visiting with Democratic Party leaders in Washington, D.C. last week, said Friday in Billings he is putting together a statewide announcement tour for next week. It could begin as early as Tuesday.

"There will be an announcement next week," he said, hedging only slightly from announcing the campaign as a certainty. "I need a little wiggle room," Tester said, laughing.

Now, this is a campaign that I can not only get excited about, but also donate heavily to. Way to go Jon!
