Brian Schweitzer this afternoon, alongside a couple of trick-or-treating local high school kids. The governor was doing a little door-to-door campaigning in the Rattlesnake when he was ambushed first by [...] We’ve got a couple of new voices jumping into the blogosphere at Missoulian.com, as assistant news editors Matt Pritchard and Jenna Cederberg take the reins of GrizzlyGrowler.com and BuffaloPost.net, respectively. Grizzly Growler, of course, is our craft beer blog, while Buffalo Post covers Native news.
