Mormon perhaps?

Yet another pot smoking idiot hippy-dippy.

Poor Idaho. Next thing you know, the crazy libs will ban potatoes due to climate change.

The farmers will probably bend over and take it.

This is horrible. We live ten miles north of CdA.

Enjoyed a wonderful, week-long vacation in Sand Point in 2010. Even seriously viewed a home that was for sale there at the time. Hard to believe that the people there would vote for something like this! Is he an "import?"

Somebody yesterday said he is from San Diego, but he’s been in CdA a long time. Not sure where he is from.

My mom was born in Sandpoint in 1927! They lived there for six months until moving south to Potlatch, ID. It was a sleepy lumber town back then. I was there two days ago shopping for a replacement fireplace. Still a very nice town. There’s snow on the surrounding mountains!

The name Dan Gookin sounds familiar from my time in San Diego. If it is the same person, he wrote technical articles for a local computer publication ByteBuyer and ComputerEdge. That is my only recollection. I would be surprised to find out that it is the same person. It's not a real common name.

I have confirmed before posting that it is the same Dan Gookin I know from the ComputerEdge days in San Diego. He also authored some XXX for Dummies books.

If one has no talent skills ideas understanding of how things work being a tolerant lefty is the only tool you have to work with.

"...and go to hell.”

Only Christians can do this?

[jonrick46]

Coeur d’Alene is a very conservative “red” area. To have this Dan Gookin unleashed tells me the Dems are working to turn this area blue.

[LouAvul]

If you're correct (that CDA is solidly Red), then the citizens of CDA will rally and recall this guy. If they do not, then, you're wrong. We shall see.

Yet another extreme bit of irony that we are witnessing.... that being that Gookin, as it turns out, happens to be ‘the’ ultimate Dummy of all (lefties = projection).
