Many Reasons For Straight-R Voting

At the Ridenbaugh Press, Randy Stapilus writes of an online survey he conducted of straight-ticket Republican voters in Idaho: "When market analysts such as politicians need insight into how people really view something, they often convene a focus group. Last week I sought out something like that, consisting of party-line Republican Idaho voters. The 19 responses were enough (together with a collection of comments from a range of other sources) to tell me this much: The 220,000 or more (more in a presidential year) who vote down-the-line Republican in Idaho arrive at that result not by any one, but in variety of ways."
