HELENA - Perennial candidate Bob Kelleher thinks he can beat U.S. Sen. Max Baucus this time around, and is willing to spend the rest of his money to do it.

Kelleher won the six-way Republican primary in June. He now faces a Democratic incumbent who has a campaign war chest packed with millions of dollars. So far, Kelleher says he's spent about $20,000 on such things as travel to parades and county fairs, a couple of billboards, campaign literature, and is making plans to air a few radio ads in the state's biggest cities.

Over the years, the 85-year-old has run for most every office under Democratic and Green party labels, including a failed 1976 presidential run. This time he thinks he advanced in the primary because voters are ready for a change to a parliamentary government.
