I wouldn’t call stopping in Butte and Missoula campaigning “throughout the state”. Bill’s I-15 day trip barely qualifies. Were a candidate to go to Plentywood, Lewistown and Kalispell in a day. That I could buy.
But the real reason I comment is the shoeshine kerfuffle. Let’s assume that Mr. Faulkner of Butte is a white guy. I know, it’s a huge stretch. Now, if I was a black guy running for President, would I want to have preserved for posterity, and the use by scads of disengenuous 527 groups out there, a photographic record of a reversal of racial stereotypes?
I think not.
