Monday Poll: Almost two-thirds of Hucks Nation prefers former Republican legislator Dean Haagenson to four other candidates in the North Idaho College horse race for Seat C to replace retiring Trustee Ron Vieselmeyer. Haagenson (76 of 120, 63.33%) received almost three times as many votes as Reagan Republican endorsee Ron Nilson (29 of 120, 24.17%), who ran unsuccessfully for the NIC board two years ago. Others getting votes were: Fritz Widenhoff, 9 (7.5%); Gary Coffman, 5 (4.17%); and James Ruch, 1 (.83%).
Today's Poll: Would you mind if Congressman Labrador missed 27 votes on Wednesday to campaign for Republican Mitt Romney in Florida?
