1. So why didn't he run for president?

[Wetzelbill]

3. not quite 4 years in elected office

Probably too soon for him, I would guess. And he had to figure Barack and Hillary would be both formidable, Edwards would be strong, plus with the possibility of former Dem nominees like Kerry and an especially rejuvenated Al Gore getting in the race it would be stacked with talent. Not to mention guys like Biden, Richardson and Dodd who have all been around forever.

Brian might be an interesting choice say in 8 years though. He might go for Max Baucus's senate seat whenever he retires. Just all depends.

2. Obama - Schweitzer?

I'd be for that ticket.

[Wetzelbill]

4. yeah that would be nice

I'd vote for that in a heartbeat, not likely to happen, but, man, that would be dream. :)

6. oh yeah Governor Brian is great

I don't agree with him all the time, but most of the time I do. :) There is a Brian Schweitzer group on DU, btw.
