If the Montana elections demonstrate anything, it's that white people will not save the Dems

65. While I would have voted for Quist if I lived in Montana

it should also be noted that Quist had some negatives that may have weighed into the minds of many voters. Until recently he was behind in paying his property taxes and other debts. When someone has difficulties in handling their personal finances, it is a factor that voters consider as to whether they should trust that person as a public official.

Quist also turned down an offer from Tom Perez and the DNC to tour Montana while he was campaigning. I doubt it would have changed the results of the election, but if someone is going to run as a Democrat then it means that they should be prepared to be associated with other Democrats. The voters may have looked at his refusal and determined that Quist may not be able to accomplish anything in Congress when he turned down the offer of support.
