I guess we thumped him so hard last time he just couldn’t take it anymore.

I’m thinking Grant is still wishing he could have run in the 2nd district, since you’ve got Sun Valley/Ketchum and the North end of Boise in that district. He just had not shot at fooling enough people in the district in which I reside.

There still aren’t enough ‘rats for them to win the seat in the 2nd.

You’re probably right, but it might have made it much more interesting, esp. since the current GOP Rep. in that district (Mike Simpson) does have some RINO tendencies.

My guess was to avoid electing somebody like a Frank Church, that scourge of civilized society that he was.

You take it correctly. Most around here thought that we’d see a Sali/Grant re-match this go’round.
