According to New York Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated liberal political columnist David Sirota, Montana is a battleground state ... but not in the conventional sense of the phrase.
In his new book, "The Uprising," http://www.amazon.com/Uprising-Unaut ... /0307395634 Sirota looks at what's fueling a new populist political movement by scrutinizing everything from the racial tensions along the U.S./Mexican border, to the corruption in Washington, D.C., to the tax fights in the halls of the Montana capitol.
A full chapter and part of another in the 385-page book is devoted to the ideological political battle in Montana. Sirota dissects the 2007 Montana legislative session and Jon Tester's unlikely 2006 election to the U.S. Senate as he looked for evidence of the populist revolt here in Big Sky Country.
