Peterson: Otter Will Lose GOPrimary

Republican candidate for Idaho governor, Ron "Pete" Peterson, said he’s confident that Gov. Butch Otter will lose in the May 25 Republican primary, but unlike other aspirants for office, he doesn’t think he’ll be the one to take down the incumbent. He said he expects former elk rancher Rex Rammell of Idaho Falls or Ada County Commissioner Sharon Ullman to win the race. Peterson said he doesn’t want the state’s top political job, and has already endorsed an independent candidate in the race. Ousting Otter has been the focal point of Peterson’s campaign. His official website is BeatButch.com, where people can order bumper stickers, shirts, or underwear with the "Beat Butch" slogan/Brad Iverson-Long. More info.

Question: Will Rex Rammell break double digits, percentagewise, in his primary race against incumbent Butch Otter and others?
