So who's running?  That was the question on everybody's lips during last weekend's MT GOP convention.  Mike Lange is running for sure, and he'll most-likely go after Baucus.  However, two other potential candidates created some buzz among conventioneers: Bob Keenan, who has been a suspect for months now, and a newcomer, Kurt Bushman.

On the gubernatorial front, giveitback.com founder Steve Daines had a very enthusiastic reception, however, he remains uncommitted to running.

Two-time OPI candidate Bob Anderson was at the convention and made the rounds, though he too has not determined whether he'll run or not.

Duane Grimes is giving serious consideration to running for Auditor again after a strong showing against incumbent John Morrison in 2004.

Already-announced AG candidates Tim Fox and Lee Bruner both had a strong presence at the convention, and are already running an extremely amicable race.  We'll see if the same congeniality is evident in the Dem primary.

And finally, the GOP Legislative Campaign Committee reported that it already has two-thirds of its targeted legislative districts filled.
