If I were Conrad Burns, I'd be shakin' in my custom-made cowboy boots. First, State Auditor John Morrison said he was up for challenging Burns for the U.S. Senate seat. Now, another Democrat has (almost) entered the ring. He's a farmer, he's got a flat-top, he's plain-spoken but he's got claws and he's funny (this always goes a long way in my take on a politician). He's a uniter, but not a bender-over. Jon Tester says he is almost ready to announce his candidacy for U.S. Senate. This, my friends, will be one helluva race. Even the primary here is going to be raucous.
