Democrat AG to run for Montana governor

HELENA — Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock will enter the race to be the state's next governor with a speech Wednesday to supporters, two people close to the Democrat said Tuesday.

Bullock, a rising star within the Democratic party, will leave the attorney general's office after one term and shift his re-election campaign to the governor's race for 2012, according to one person involved in his campaign and another who is a top Bullock adviser.
