Sali won an "A+" rating from the National Rifle Association on a questionnaire; Minnick got a "D+".

Sali. Game over.

It doesn't surprise me to see the liberal infested Boise area tipping the balance in favor of Minnick.

Actually, the way the district boundary is drawn up, most if not all of the Boise city limits are in the 2nd district, not the 1st. Anything to the east of Cole Road is considered in the 2nd district.

Minnick is running as a quasi-conservative Dim for a reason. That's the only way he has a realistic chance of besting Sali.

"From Walt's perspective, there's no reason for someone to have a howitzer in their backyard or a .50-caliber machine gun in their garage,"

What is this guy talking about? I would think that with the weather in Idaho most people would want to garage their howitzers most of the year and everyone knows .50s go in the gun safe except when mounted up on the ring mount of the SUV.

[GOP_Raider]

still have enough left over to be crowned Russett Potato King.

That office is currently vacant by the way.

[Squantos]

Heck yeah. You could be my assistant with that many guns ......;o)

[lonevoice]

Gotta love Idaho.

[ApplegateRanch]

Voted for neither. One has no Republican opposition and will win walking away

Sounds like you missed a perfect, ultimate, FReeping oportunity by not not filing to run against him.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Hell, my life would be complete to be your assistant. Bringing you bourbons by the pool and eyeing the fine collection of lady folk oiling ya’ up.

But you have to discuss quantity versus quality. Of course you get bonus points for the ASP.

Great movie and great line from the movie. After uttering that, I have to believe that Alan Ladd was a conservative. No Hollywood lib would be caught dead uttering those lines!

You have no idea how funny that is. DeFazio is bulletproof in this district, unless, as the saying goes, he gets caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy. He beat a guy with utterly impeccable, fighter pilot, FBI war on terror, Eagle Scout credentials. I wrote in a local hard-core Conservative Democrat talk show host named Jim Bice. He's gonna be broadcasting returns from the Courthouse on Tuesday. He might get a laugh out of it. Or he might hunt me down and kick my ass. :)

[ApplegateRanch]

Thanks; I wasn’t sure what it was, though I knew that it isn’t a church. I love that style.

[ApplegateRanch]

DeFazio, eh? Any relation to Oregons Peter DeFazio?

Is this the start of another multi-state dynasty, a-la Rockerfeller, Udal & Kennedy?

[gundog]

The very same. He’s got the libs in Eugene and he holds onto the more conservative Dems with his positions on guns and vet’s issues. He’s in until he makes a Senate run.

[gundog]

Kin to the fabled Colonel Rex?

[ApplegateRanch]

NO. Just moved our name for our last place in the Little Applegate Valley, between Medford & Grants Pass, to here. Seemed appropriate, since this place was origially homesteaded as a ‘fruit farm’. Still has a few of the original apple trees...and a lot of ‘wild’ descendants.

[ApplegateRanch]

I misunderstood; thought you were in Idaho, and this was another DeFazio.
