He got 26.1% in Montana (and 27.0% in Idaho). Montana was Perot's second best in 1996 with 13.6% (Maine again best at 14.2%, Idaho #3 at 12.7%).

Montana is probably easier to flip than Idaho. That's a good point about Perot. That was his best state, if I recall. Possibly. Montana is probably easier to flip than Idaho.

It's been polling reasonably well for Obama and did elect an actually fairly progressive Democrat in Tester (against Conrad Burns, though, which might make it a fluke). If Barr is popular there, he could very well swing the state to Obama (as Perot did wrt Clinton in 1992, as a matter of fact). I wouldn’t discount Montana.
