Thursday Poll: 73 of 104 respondents (70.19%) said they would quit now, if they were in the shoes of beleaguered state Rep. Mark Patterson, R-Boise, who lied about a past felony to carry a concealed weapon. Only 10 of 104 (9.62%) said they would run for re-election, if they were him. 9 (8.65%) said they would continue to blame the Ada County sheriff and the media for the predicament. 8 (7.69%) said they would stick it out through the remainder of the legislative term. 4 (3.85%) marked "other."
