Handshakes win votes in Montana

FosterGroupMediaLLC
This year’s competitive Democratic primary brought to Montana something voters here weren’t used to: uncanny access to high-profile, national presidential candidates. Barack Obama cruised to victory over Hillary Clinton here, but that has not caused him to become complacent in this traditionally red state. The Democratic nominee has made four separate campaign stops in Big Sky Country and is in a dead heat with Sen. John McCain for Montana’s three electoral votes. McCain has not set foot in Montana in eight years, making Republican Party leaders here very anxious. Obama continues to mount an all-out effort to win this state, and two Montana voters show in this pod how the Illinois senator won their votes with firm handshakes.
