Jimmy Farris, who grew up in Lewiston, is 33 years old. He cast his first and only ballot for President Barack Obama in 2008.  Which means Farris, an ex-NFL wide receiver and college football standout, skipped at least six national elections. Some of them were close and consequential. Such as the Bush-Gore 2000 nail-biter. Or the Bush-Kerry election four years later. There were the 2006 mid-terms, where congressional Democrats prevailed, and the 2010 elections, when the Republicans revived. Not to mention myriad primary elections, city council campaigns and school issues. Farris missed them all. Hardly unusual behavior for someone of Farris' generation/Marty Trillhaase, Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Is Jimmy Farris, who didn't vote in a presidential election until 2008, as good as any Democrat to become political roadkill in the 2012 Idaho 1st Congressional District election?
