History Bodes Well for Bullock Reelection Montana Public Radio Commentary by Evan Barrett August 17, 2015 Analyzing historical electoral patterns may seem like an exercise for the back rooms of a university political science department. But active practitioners in the political arena dive into history to find patterns that are indicative, if not predictive, of what might happen in current and future election cycles. While I used to look for such patterns as a political activist involved in the electoral process directly, I now look at them as I prepare for classroom discussion or for historical film making. And a review of Montana election history reveals some patterns that bode well for the reelection of Governor Steve Bullock next year. Over the last 64 years, Governors running for a second full term always win and also always increase their winning margin, often by a lot. One-term Governors during that period – Democrat Forrest Anderson (1972-76), and Republicans Stan Stephens (1988- 92) and Judy Martz (2000-04), all decided on their own not to seek reelection, so they fall out of the analysis.

  • Oral History Interview with Bob Brown, May 30, 2019
    Oral History Number: 467-001 Interviewee: Bob Brown Interviewer: Carol Van Valkenburg Date of Interview: May 30, 2019 Carol Van Valkenburg: All right, it is May 30, 2019. This is Carol Van Valkenburg, and I am interviewing Bob Brown and we'll find out all about Bob's history and background by letting him tell us. Bob, could you tell us a little bit about your background—where you were born and a little bit about your growing up years? Bob Brown: I was born here in Missoula on December 11, 1947, and my conservative Republican father always advised me not to talk too much about that. [laughs] We lived briefly in Thompson Falls for, I think, about four years and then moved up to the Flathead Valley. We lived, when I was a little kid, in Kalispell and then moved out in the country on some acreage, and that's where I primarily grew up. I had an idyllic boyhood. I fished and shot gophers and sat in the loft of the barn and read books and so on. It was a good life. My dad felt that my sister and I would be better off if we never got television, and it didn't come in well then, we had to have an antenna to get TV. Eventually that happened, but it happened about the time I graduated from high school. My dad told me he thought he was doing me a favor which he definitely was because I had to read, and I read extensively. I especially enjoyed military history—drum and bugle history—and I read a lot of biographies about old dead generals and politicians and that sort of thing.
