In an editorial today, the Idaho Statesman addresses Gov. Butch Otter: "Accepting the feds’ grant — and establishing a health exchange on Idaho’s terms — is just common sense. But you know those nullifiers. They don’t have much use for common sense. “I will be in opposition of a state exchange,” state Rep. Vito Barbieri, a Dalton Gardens Republican and the House’s nullifier-in-chief, told IdahoReporter.com. Barbieri says he will canvass the House to see if there is critical mass to oppose accepting the feds’ money. At this point, governor, you would normally be entitled to consider the source. IdahoReporter.com focused on the potential opposition from the nullifiers in a story this week. The online news service is an offshoot of the Idaho Freedom Foundation, whose director, Wayne Hoffman, is a lobbyist/nullifier who says a state health exchange will be nothing more than a “federal beast.”/Kevin Richert, Idaho Statesman.

Question: Is Butch Otter too cozy with the nullifiers?
