	Senator John McCain (R-AZ)

There have been rumors floating that Senator John McCain (R-AZ), now the front-runner for the GOP’s presidential nomination, might be paying a visit to Montana before “Super Tuesday” when Republicans here vote. “We’ve heard the same rumor,” said a staffer at the Montana Republican Party, who asked for anonymity. “We are sure hoping.”

While it appears that plans are, or at least were, in the works for a quick drop-in, at the moment, “There is not a scheduled stop in Montana,” said Matt Flanders, a field coordinator for Senator McCain.

We’ll keep you posted should McCain’s plans change.

Uh....isn't it strange that candidates claim that they will "visit" small states like ours but this only means that they are landing in Great Falls, stepping down the tarmac, speaking for 15 minutes, then back on the plane and on to go to Los Angeles for a 2 day speaking and fundraising venture? Visit my ass....
Oh, and I heard of a new game...every time John McCain says "My friend(s)" in a mean way (like demeaning to Romney) you have to drink liquor, and every time he says it to a crowd of supporters----drink a beer..... Pretty fun.

Now that things are going too great for Mitt, the Montana and Wyoming GOP probably don't know what to do with their rigged caucuses.
