Watch the Broadcast Tonight at 7:30 on Montana PBS
MISSOULA - In a political season marked by promises of change, "Montana Journal: The Unlikely Candidates," profiles six Montana candidates who offer an alternative to mainstream politics. They face long odds to win one of the 2008 statewide offices but they all agree it is important that they run.
The show features two candidates inside the major parties, Republican Bob Kelleher of Butte running for U.S. Senate and Democrat John Driscoll of Helena running for U.S. Representative, each using unusual campaign strategies. The program also profiles Libertarian candidates Mike Fellows, Stan Jones and Donald Eisenmenger as well as Constitution Party candidate Sieglinde Sharbono. Each of the candidates speaks to the question of what they bring to the process.
Montana Journal will be broadcast on Montana PBS (KUFM-TV in Missoula and KUSM-TV in Bozeman), Thursday, October 30th at 7:30 p.m. The program will repeat on Monday, November 3rd at 9:30 p.m.
