Bob Kelleher:
Admits past failings to prevent Baucus from attacking
Saying he’s concerned Democratic Sen. Max Baucus may use personal smears in the campaign, as he has in past campaigns, Republican candidate Bob Kelleher laid out his life’s faults Wednesday. Kelleher said he’d beat Baucus to the punch and lay bare his
personal shortcomings:- As a 23-year-old man, Kelleher was a friar in a Carmelite monastery 18 months away from ordination into the priesthood. He dropped out, Kelleher said, because he couldn’t handle the vow of chastity.
- He has been married
& divorced three times. He has seven children and regrets the impact his absence had on their lives. Kelleher said he particularly regrets the way he walked out on his first wife,
Gerry, mother to his six oldest children and to whom he was long married.
- “I wanted to have fun,” he said, but his fun hurt his children and his wife, whom he described as “wonderful.”

John Driscoll:
Running because of total loyalty to upholding Constitution
I place our United States Constitution above my own well-being, personal loyalties or any political party. I have the proven capability to work with the interpersonal
chemistry of a legislative caucus as I find it and the mental determination to check and balance our president as required by our Constitution.

Steve Daines:
AdWatch: Walsh appointment was "Big Sky buy-off" D.C. deal
Republican Steve Daines' campaign unleashed its first attack ad against Sen. John Walsh Wednesday, ripping Walsh's appointment to his post as a "backroom deal" arranged by the president and "D.C. insiders." The broadcast web ad, which targets various
audiences on certain video websites across the state, calls Democratic Gov. Steve Bullock's Feb. 7 appointment of Walsh "the Big Sky buy-off.""John Walsh can continue to deny the truth, but Montanans know that his appointment was a politically
motivated, backroom deal that put Washington interests first," said Daines' campaign spokesman.
The ad says that President Barack Obama and "the D.C. insiders hand-picked John Walsh." Bullock said he chose Walsh because he was the best one for the job,
and told reporters last month that he had told US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to "butt out" when Reid called and suggested Bullock appoint Walsh as Baucus' successor.
