This should make things a bit interesting, but he's 73 now, so probably not too interesting.

Well Mike Simpson the incumbent is facing a strong tea party challenger, so who knows if he loses the seat might be in play, iirc Stallings was one of the socially conservative democrats on issued like abortion. I even meet Stallings last night he seems like a excellent candidate.

Why was Idaho so democrat?

Good question the reason was the unions in north idaho in the state had big influence, and we had good canidates Cecil Andrus governor from 1971-1977, 1987-1995, untill the reagan years in which frank church was defeated, it went pretty downhill from there and the GOP pretty much has held total power for 20 years.
