... that conservatives are planning a protest tonight before the health care forum featuring Walt Minnick at North Idaho College. Messages have been sent out to local Tea Party members, the tax protester group headed by Sharon Culbreath, Republican Women, North Idaho Pachyderms, and Reagan Republican groups. Huckleberries was told that conservatives are unhappy with Minnick because he wants to reform the current plan rather than throw it out altogether (as conservatives want). Local Republicans believe Minnick is voting conservative, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's blessing, in order to give him cover for an unexpected, tough political fight in the conservative 1st Congressional District next year. Stay tuned.
