Boadicea: I’ve never seen a precedent for infighting (among Kootenai County Republicans) this acrimonious. There have always been strong opinions but not the blood-in-the-street level of rage that Bob Pedersen rode in on. He practically created the crimson tide and surfed to prominence on a wave of anger. It was like that moment when Howard Dean gave his “I Have a Scream” speech and everyone knew that the angry, irrational left would be driving the Democratic Party. Now we have the answer from the right and it’s just as disturbing. Patching this up after the Primary will not happen. Hopefully the angry ones will simply wear down or become irrelevant because they are irrational. As it stands now all they have done is hide behind a new name, as in the case of Rally Right.

Question: Again, I'll ask: Who is Bob Pedersen? Where did he come from? How did he gain control of the Rally Right faction of the splintered Kootenai County Republican Party?
