Denny Rehberg Featured in the Indy

Here's a great in-depth article on Congressman Denny Rehberg in the Missoula Independent, our often surprisingly independent alt weekly. I could quibble with some points but overall, good job!

With pre-imminent name recognition, impeccable political savvy, and a formidable grassroots organization that’s 25 years in the making, Rehberg has evolved into a political machine so robust the Democrats rightly wonder if they’ve got any chance of beating him now, or any time in the near future. Some say a Demo overthrow might just have to wait until 2012...

He’s relaxed, well spoken, and engages the crowd with steady eye contact and frequent hand gestures, unburdened by notes. For the duration of the session, Rehberg talks with a directness that lets people know he actually heard their question. As he speaks, his eyes rove over the entire audience. He handles both softball questions and bombshells with apparent ease...
The story entitled "Can This Man Be Beaten?"

Short answer: No.

Not only cannot he be beaten, he should not be beaten. Rehberg is a terrific representative of Montana and absent party affiliations, he would get over 90% of the vote from Montanans.

I'm hoping I could drag him to Missoula so that I could get my picture taken with him. That ought to be worth a few thousand votes.

You mean you aren't coming to the L-R dinner Steve? ;=)

Other than his utter and base hypocrisy on the estate tax, Rehberg is fairly tolerable.
