Schweitzer courts unions as he considers 2014

[Ptah]

BILLINGS — Former Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer told a gathering of union
leaders Friday that he has not decided on a possible run for U.S. Senate in 2014,
but indicated he would need their support if he does.

The two-term governor is considering a bid to replace fellow Democrat
U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, who is stepping down after six terms.

Addressing the Montana AFL-CIO annual convention in Billings, Schweitzer
said he has been receiving lots of calls from people urging him to run. He said
it would be a family decision involving his wife, Nancy, and their three children.

"But if we decide to do this...we need to do it together," he said at the end of a
wide-ranging speech that touched on his opposition to the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, the high costs of health care, and the need for organized labor
to stand up against corporate interests.

1. Do it Brian!

This sounds really encouraging. I LOVE this guy. (well there IS his coal thing though)
He once said his Border Collie Jag would NOT like Washington, so he would never move there. I wonder if his dog Jag is still alive?
