I've heard Schweitzer is more interested in building the Democratic Party in Montana than a run for the VP.  Perhaps he's looking to run for the Senate - a great gig - the next time 'round (2010?)

Could be.  He's apparently done a hell of a job there reviving the Dems, and I certainly wouldn't mind picking off another Senate seat next go-'round.  If we can sink McCain this fall, we could come pretty damned close to a filibuster-proof majority, and maybe even get it, looking at some of the unexpectedly competitive seats.

Knocking off Liddy Dole and swinging North Carolina would be a major accomplishment.  I don't know how close we are on Olympia Snowe in Maine, but that'd be a huge pick-up.  I think we get the Virginia seat easily with Warner.  Idaho might not be a half-bad bet with Craig bailing.  Alaska has potential in the race against Stevens.

I think BooMan did a run-down on all the Senate seats a while back, and it looked to me like we had the potential to grab 12-14 if things went well.
