She was listening to "Wake Up Montana" during her morning routine Nov. 1 when she heard a story that covered people sending candy to American troops overseas.

They controlled the statewide offices, including the entire congressional delegation, the legislature and the office of governor. At Republican state conventio...

But instead of lifting the Griz to...
