The 1st Congressional District of Idaho has had its share of iconoclastic characters: Helen Chenoweth-Hage, Butch Otter and Bill Sali. But Sali stands apart for his inability to gain respect and encouragement from a wide range of fellow Republicans. His uncooperative nature not only precludes him from reaching across the aisle, it cuts off avenues within his own caucus. From incompetently filing campaign finance reports, to taking credit for highway legislation he opposed, his erratic behavior does not engender confidence. His campaign to place his centrist Democratic opponent in the amen chorus with liberals like Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank isn't credible. In fact, it's laughable, but these are serious times/SR Editorial Board. More here.

Question: Agree? Disagree?
