Rumorama

In the "Take It with a Grain of Salt" Dept, Huckleberries hears ... that the Tea Party faction of the Kootenai County RINO Central Committee is pushing to have three names submitted to county commissioners for the next County Clerk: Jim Brannon, Larry Spencer and Bob Pedersen. Such a lineup would mean that Brannon would be a shoo-in. But I'd categorize this one as total rumor. Among other rumors swirling out there today ... include a possible struggle within the RINO CC, with one faction supporting Deputy Clerk Pat Raffee and another backing former commissioner Rick Currie. Reagan Republican Jeff Ward's name has been mentioned as a prospect, too -- as has former county clerk candidate Anita Banta. Other names that have been mentioned include: Tina Jacobson, Bjorn Handeen and John Green.

Question: Who would be your choice among the names mentioned above? Why?
