There was more interest in the Democratic Primary than the Republican, as no one seriously thought Burns would lose in the primary.
Tester is indeed a gift; no matter what the polls say today, Burns is now assured reelection {unless indicted, which appears unlikely}.
While some are touting this as a "win" for the Kos Kids, who supported him, I think it is premature to declare a guy who is probably going down HARD in the general a "winner."

No guarantee here. Tester is great for us, but Burns is a liability. He is notoriously a poor campaigner, which probably means that we're going to expend a bunch of money and effort in Montana trying to insure that Tester gets tarred and feathered as a liberal.
Until I see a poll that puts Burns above 50% I would not be talking about "guaranteed" reelection (hell, first I'd like to see a poll that puts Burns in the lead again).

Also, the Survey USA tracking poll from 5/23/06 gives Burns a 56% DISapproval rating (only 40% approve - only Santorum has a larger net negative). That's not a great place to be running from. Especially in a state that was willing to vote for Democrats in 2004 because of a perceived derth of "good government" from the Republican governor.

On June 5th, you couldn't find much interest in Burn's futures. But with the Tester vote, he has a chance. Can he capitalize on the chance. Montana voters get the unenviable choice of the lesser of two evils. I'm not bullish on Burns, but I am not willing to write him off based on Tester being his opponent.

Tester is way to liberal for Montana!
The Dems might just as well run Kennedy.
