Pentico puts a human face to conservatives’ frustration with Otter. The Pentico case resonates with many of the same critics who believe Otter has abandoned his conservative principles, by pushing for gas tax and vehicle registration fees during a recession. Where a younger Otter was brash and stubbornly libertarian, the gubernatorial Otter now labels Pentico as “disruptive.” Disruptive? Perhaps a little more than Otter imagined. No offense to Boise’s Twitter nation and Downtown coffee aficionados, but I think the Pentico issue has some staying power/Kevin Richert, Idaho Statesman. More here.

Question: Do you agree with Kevin that Butch Otter’s brush with ‘disruptive’ conservative ideologue Christopher Pentico will come back to haunt him in his next GOP primary?
