One of them was mine.
I've never liked Otter much; he has done nothing but skate and collect a paycheck for his 30 year political career, and he didn't change when he became Governor.
I thought his opponent Russ Fulcher was a thoughtful guy, even though he's a teabagger. But when I heard is cockadoodle plans to raise revenue for all the stuff he wanted, there was no way I could vote for him.
Harley is crazy, but at least he is up front about being crazy.
As the voter turnout was extremely low for and Idaho primary, maybe my vote put in over into the big 3% he got. Idaho is a simple majority state. One local race had a 2 vote margin for most of the night. The winner eventually won with 150 votes. In a town where the average turnout in any election hovers around 70%, and has gone as high as 87%, only 27% voted yesterday. That's the lowest in about 40 years.
