Duroc: I think it’s a really bad idea for any local business to promote political candidates, unless they understand that they are likely to alienate half of their customers. Yes, businesses have a “right” to promote candidates, but customers have just as much of a right to vote with our dollars and boycott businesses who support fringe candidates with severe ethical, legal, and moral problems (like Phil Hart). I refuse to do business with a certain Moscow plumbing supply business because of their prominent advocacy for the campaign of Gresham Bouma against Gary Schroeder for the Idaho House.

Question: Is it good or bad business for the Donut Shop in Hayden to be site of the Ron Paul lovefest Thursday?
