Why Ask Why?

For the life of me, I can't figure out why Gov. Butch Otter wants a third term. Here's some possibilities:

  • First Lady Lori wouldn't want him underfoot for addition 15-20 hours per week.
  • It's safer than team roping.
  • His first two shots at establishing a decent legacy failed.
  • He's better than Harley Brown and Walt Byers.
  • He won't be happy until Idaho supplants Mississippi at bottom of education ladder.

Question: Why do you think Gov. Otter wants a third term?
