Dan of the County: To follow up on the original post, I had several friendly folks including Republicans stop by the D's booth and visit yesterday. Tom Malzahn was working his booth during the same time and we both went to each other's “territory” to say hello. I even had Bill McCrory stop and take my picture! Although I did jokingly tell him that I wondered if he should read me my Miranda rights before he took my picture … All in all a good time and good company, I'll be out there again most of the afternoon and evening.

Question: Do you think the Kootenai County clerk's race between Democrat DanOTC and Republican Cliff Hayes will be the nastiest one locally?
