   Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock announced Wednesday that he intends
   to seek the open gubernatorial seat in Montana in 2012. The first-term
   Attorney General has remained extremely popular since his election in 2008
   and is considered a favorite for the Democratic nomination. The seat will be
   open in 2012, since current Governor Brian Schweitzer (D) is term limited.
