Let the mainstream media analyze Hillary's speech all they want. Me, I'm googling Brian Schweitzer. I want to know more about this guy who's the Democratic Governor of Montana and has a 70% approval rating.
Brian who? Montana has a Democratic Governor? Have we all been asleep or living under a rock. Apparently so. Frankly I thought Mark Warner was a snooze as keynoter last night. But Brian Schweitzer, he rocked the arena. This guy is a natural communicator and man can he connect with a crowd. He had them on their feet. Watch.
And it gets better. They guy never held public office before becoming governor of Montana. He's the grandson of Montana homesteaders. He's such a man of the soil he actually has a Masters in Soil Science! He speaks Arabic...after overseeing the building of irrigation projects in the Middle East and the construction of the world's largest dairy farm in Saudi Arabia.
Under Governor Schweitzer, Montana :
• Created more jobs at higher wages than anytime in history.
• Cut more taxes for more Montanans than any other time in the state’s history, including a $400 rebate to Montana homeowners.
• Increased Montana’s electrical generation capacity more during his administration than the previous 16 years combined where the state is one of only two states in the country to have increased oil production; in fact it’s up by 50%.
• Invested more in both K-12 and higher education than any previous administration – while also capping tuition at our state’s colleges and universities, the first such effort in a generation.
• Increased the number of children on the Children’s Health Insurance Program by more than 3,000 now providing quality healthcare to more than 16,000 kids and giving the future a healthy start in life.
• Montana’s bond rating has been upgraded for the first time in 26 years with Moody’s, Fitch and Standard and Poor’s Investment Services – a sign of sound fiscal management in state government.
In 2004 we first heard from a candidate for U.S. Senate named Barack Obama. In 2008 the "it" guy of the Democratic Convention has to be Brian Schweitzer.
