Now this is the kind of smart campaign tactics I’m talking about.
Watch as Rehberg gets asked to explain why he sued the Billings firefighters for doing their job. Rehberg is all over the place: he starts in some kind of weird weedy hedge, then he recites his terrible quotes from the media–some weird analogy about about not blaming the soldiers but the general.

Uhh, Kristie? Was there a reason you left out Steve Kelly from your wall of fail? Just curious …
Perhaps she limited her list to those candidates that the party actually approved of. Steve is his own man. Unacceptable.
Kelly is easy to forget as he was only a token”place holder” candidate and did not actually campaign…
