In ID-01? You need a Democrat to the right of Minnick and very uncompetent Republican to win it.

No the opportunity is ID-Gov because Labrador is such an awful candidate. Idaho hasn't elected a Democratic Governor since 1990 though, so it will be tough.

Also ID-01 will now have someone other than Raul Labrador representing it, so that's a plus.

They have terrific names, no?

Otter is a COC Republican tight with Idaho's Mormon establishment, as is Little. They're big on developing Boise. They're no liberals, but much better than the Panhandle Preppers (I'm trademarking this) who keep trying to take over the IDGOP. Labrador winks and nods at this crowd, BTW

If he wins (which I suspect he will), I can see him becoming the next Brownback.

Hopefully this seat goes to a Boise moderate and not a panhandle nut.

Well, i have doubts on BOTH points. First of all, despite Labrador being crazy, any Republican candidate (including him) is seriously favored in Idaho gubernatorial election. And, secondly, among approximately 30 Republican state legislators from Labrador's district there are, surely, crazies too (and not one), so - there is absolutely no guarantee that next congressman will be better then him.

On the first point, eh, we're probably not going to win the gubernatorial election in Idaho but it's worth a try.

On the second point, I was half-joking there but sure.

I guess he decided that a blatant lie proving that he's totally out of touch with reality is a good campaign slogan.

I wonder if Pro-Life will run for ID-01 this time or for Governor instead?

Honestly, having a pack of otters run Idaho would be better than Raul Labrador
