(In the final days of an election, there is so much information from so many races, it's difficult to stay on top of every story and understand the subtle dynamics often at play on the ground. Thankfully, we have an expansive 50-state blogosphere to match our 50-state strategy.

DENVER --Though Hillary Clinton gave an extraordinary address yesterday night--relaxed and emotive and far more impassioned than at the fine auto-eulogy I saw her deliver in June--I'd like to declare Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer the MVP of Tuesday night. Not only was Schweitzer's delivery emphatic and simple--his mien was entirely genuine, a reality only enhanced by his bolo tie. The governor,...

Of all the speakers tonight, the current governor of Montana looked like he really enjoyed his time up there, talking about alternative sources of energy to replace our dependence on foreign oil. The full transcript is incomplete, but at the end of the speech, he had everyone standing and clapping, even Bill Clinton. Excerpt: Four billion in tax breaks for big oil?

Before Bill Clinton spoke last night, the speech by the governor of Montana, Brian Schweitzer, was the best speech of the convention so far. (If you're not watching the convention on C-Span, you probably didn't see it, because the networks and the cable folks think people are tuning in to watch them pontificate. C-Span is pure convention.

I’m probably a little biased, but I think it’s the best place in the world to raise a family, to start and grow a business, and to build a community. When I ran for governor of Montana, I had never before held elected office....
