...year career in elective office, the former Governor wants to return to Washington (he says he "got a lot of calls from Democrats" asking him to run) by building on his tried-and-true labor base and co-opting G.O.P. issues like the balanced budget, line-item veto and term limits. Whether he can get the statewide support he'll need is uncertain; he lost his bids for Governor...
Rehberg is running for the Senate by charging directly at incumbent Max Baucus. The state's lieutenant governor says Baucus has moved toward the right in an election-year ploy to earn conservative support, voting for the line-item veto and the balanced-budget amendment, both of which Rehberg also supports.

In this Democratic district that gave Bill Clinton a 26% margin in 1994, Barrett has a good chance of continuing his liberal program in the 105th Congress...
