Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu is interviewed by KPNX reporter William Pitts at the Mesa Arts Center on Monday in Mesa, Ariz. On Saturday, Babeu's conservative image took a beating as he was forced to confirm publicly that he is gay and was involved in a relationship with a Mexican immigrant who claims the sheriff threatened to have him deported if he revealed their relationship. He denies any wrongdoing, and has vowed to continue his battle for the GOP nomination in an extremely conservative rural congressional district. (AP Photo/The Arizona Republic, Tom Tingle)

Question: If this happened in Kootenai County, which like Pinal County is also very conservative, would the sheriff's career be over?
