When I drove through MT last weekend, I couldnt believe the volume of advertisment spending happening in the senate battle! Its easily 10x what I was experiencing in WA.

ETA: Sorry for the thread drift in the POTUS thread...

curiosity got to me, the last US senate election in Montana (the state the above post references) was in 2020 and was decided by 60711 votes

:popcorn:

Daines =/= Jon Tester, this guy cuts his own meat ;)

In the past it's been Missoula, Bozeman, Butte and the Res stuffing ballot boxes -- and Tester not hemorrhaging too much blood in the rural counties, because he has AG and Veteran cred.

i actually did take a gander at Tester, but went by the data from the most recent election for US Senator from Montana- in large part because that's when historical "norms" re: party split really went out the window. also in part because that was the wider voting margin vs tester in 2018 (and represented the worst case gap) to drive home the point that the estimated claim of losing 50-60k votes could absolutely impact the outcome.

Cash is king.

Musk, the world’s richest person, gave nearly $75 million to a pro-Trump super PAC that he helped form over the summer – a massive cash infusion aimed at helping turn out voters in key battleground states. Adelson, a staunch Trump backer and heir to a casino fortune, gave even more, plowing $95 million into another outside group backing the former president, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission covering the three months ended September 30.

Altogether, just three billionaires – Musk, Adelson and Midwestern packaging magnate Richard Uihlein – donated roughly $220 million in a three-month period to groups backing the Republican’s candidacy.

That's a lot of swamp drainage.
