Libertarian senate candidate is good news for Tester

Senator Jon Tester received some good news today: Jerry McConnell filed for the U.S. Senate as a Libertarian. In 2006, Stan Jones, another Libertarian, probably drew enough votes from Conrad Burns to let Tester win by approximately 3,000 votes. If McConnell cuts into Rehberg’s support, Tester could again win with less than 50 percent of the vote.
