Keith Allred formally announced his candidacy for governor as a Democrat this morning, at a rally in the Twin Falls High School gym, the same place he gave his first speech as a sixth-grader and where he spoke often when he was the school’s student body president. Allred had a surprise announcement: Joining former four-term Democratic Idaho Gov. Cecil Andrus as honorary co-chairman of his campaign will be former state Sen. Laird Noh, R-Kimberly, the longtime Republican chairman of the Senate Resources Committee. Noh also served on the board of Allred’s nonpartisan citizen advocacy group, The Common Interest/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise. More here.

Question: What do you make of respected former legislator Laird Noh co-chairing Keith Allred's campaign?
