Vice President Cheney will go to Montana next week to help embattled incumbent Senator Conrad Burns' reelection campaign, according to The Whitefish Pilot report this week:
The office of Vice President Dick Cheney has confirmed an Aug. 16 appearance in Whitefish to raise funds for Sen. Conrad Burns' re-election campaign.
Invitations for the luncheon event were sent out two weeks ago by the Montana Republican Party in Helena.
Ticket prices for the event are $250 per person to attend a lunch reception with Cheney at The Lodge at Whitefish Lake on Aug. 16.A person interested in adding a photo opportunity with the Vice President to the luncheon can do so for a price of $2,100, and supporters wishing to go fly fishing with Burns, in addition to the luncheon and photo opportunity with Cheney, will have to pay $5,000.

Alexander McClure reported yesterday that the latest polls show Burns back to even in the race. Cheney's visit should help build on that momentum.
