13. Agreed. Looks like I'll be re-registering and voting

Kooky-eyed McGeachin is positioning herself for bigger things with a pit stop at the Governors office, I think. Giddings and Scott might be waiting in the wings for an opening but may be happy enough where they're at, fluffing whoever is on the move - and there are plenty of others to fill their clown shoes.

I don't think this state will see the likes of a Cecil Andrus again, but I would be okay if a Phil Batt or John Evans type had some inclination and momentum to advance. I even had some hope for Little but that faded. Especially this years sessiom. If Idaho were a Texas or Kansas, we would be long gone and outta here but it has so much to offer otherwise, other than its' politics, that we are bound to it.

One day we have to get back up into your neck of the woods and get reacquainted with the North.
