Two days after Bob Kelleher, a longtime political character in Montana, won the Republican U.S. Senate primary (by 10,000 votes), everyone, pundits and party officials alike, knows how it happened.

Even Kelleher himself is in awe. Kelleher tells Jennifer McKee of Lee Newspapers’ State Bureau, “Honest to goodness, I see the hand of the Almighty in this.”

McKee’s story, headlined, ”So Kelleher finally won a race: Now what?” is full of Montana’s most seasoned political watchers scratching their heads. It’s a fun read.

When network television recently drifted into its summer reruns and schlock schedule , we in northern Wyoming tune into Montana TV news for its entertainment value. The Kelleher runup and win with the defeated mainstream candidates staggering punch-drunk across the prairie was absolutely topflight reality-based satire and political parody . More!
