If you missed the Idaho Republican gubernatorial debate last night, it is probably because you are a very wise person with things to do. They had to have one, though, and thanks to the intense desire of Gov. Butch Otter to do as little actual talking as possible, they had one with all four contingents of the modern Republican party. There's Anarchist-Leaning Tea Party Guy, there's Old West Sovereign Citizenish guy, there's Ideological Party Purist Peeved At Establishment Guy and there's Establishment Guy Peeved At Ideological Guy. In Republican Party races we call that the sampler pack/Hunter, Daily Kos. More here.

Question: Do you suppose Gov. Otter regrets his insistence on Brown and Bayes being part of the debate?
