Meanwhile, Bill Clinton has seen more of this state this spring than many residents.

On April 1, the former president visited Havre, Great Falls, Helena and Butte. He returned in May to address the Truman Dinner put on by Yellowstone County Democrats on May 10 and spoke in Kalispell May 13 and Missoula May 14. He returned to Montana on Saturday to speak in Bozeman, Lewistown and Miles City.
