While it is currently in vogue for Republicans to use the term “Democrat Party” it really isn’t grammatically correct*. So, for the Superintendent of Public Instruction to use it speaks volumes about the man who heads up education in Idaho. What is especially ironic is this quote from Sup. Luna; “Elections have consequences.” Indeed they do/Unequivocal Notion.

Question: Do Idaho Republicans, like Luna, refer to the other major political party as “Democrat Party” to annoy Democrats? Or because they don’t know better?

Why would Luna run? Well, to start; I’m pretty sure that most will agree that he’s egotistical enough to think that one term as Superintendent of Public Instruction is all he needs in order to run for higher office. His OTJ training hasn’t really worked out and some would say that he has bungled the job so far. I’d say that there isn’t much internal support to keep him around for another term — especially under these economic conditions. Second; he has no allies in the Capital. It’s no secret that he doesn’t have the confidence of anyone — from Governor Otter on down. Needless to say, having no administrative or leadership skills Luna has all but decimated one of the most important institutions in Idaho government/Chris, Unequivocal Notion. More here. H/T: ThomG
