Wow! Montana - the "Big Sky" state - turns blue in most top statewide races! [View all]

Most of the counting is done, including votes from the top population centers. Despite the votes that are still out, these results should stand.

Except for Attorney General, Montana is reliably blue. Here are the profiles of the AG candidates:

Tim Fox (R) - the winner: http://www.ktvq.com/news/montana-attorney-general-candidate-profile-tim-fox/

Pam Bucy (D): http://www.ktvq.com/news/montana-attorney-general-candidate-profile-pam-bucy/

This was Fox's second run for the office and name recognition may have helped.

President Obama didn't visit the state at all this cycle, likely at Tester's request.
