The same day he declined to participate in a live debate in Lewiston, Idaho Gov. C.L. (Butch) Otter agreed to take part in a radio call-in show in Boise. Andrew Paul, program director for 670 KBOI radio, said Otter will spend an hour with host Nate Shelman the afternoon of Oct. 7, taking questions from a live audience as well as via telephone. He'll be followed by Democratic gubernatorial nominee Keith Allred and independent candidate Jana Kemp. All three candidates had been scheduled to take part in a debate at the Lewiston Community Center the evening of Oct. 7. Otter's campaign, however, cancelled his participation Monday morning. The debate was sponsored by the Lewiston Tribune, Moscow-Pullman Daily News and KLEW-TV/William Spence, Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: What do you make of Gov. Butch Otter turning his back on the only possible debate with Keith Allred in northern Idaho to be on a Boise radio station show?
