Keith Allred has announced as the Democratic Candidate for Governor in 2010. I think that Allred has a good chance of being our State's next Governor, but only if this is the start of a five-year campaign, not a one-year campaign. If 2010 were shaping up to simply be an "anti-incumbent" year, I'd say Allred would have a slight chance in 2010 against Governor Otter, but it's not shaping up that way. It's really looking like an anti-Democrat year, and in idaho having the same party as President Obama isn't going to get you elected/Adam Graham, Give Me Liberty. More here.
