Wild Card/Thursday — 2.23.12

Cliff notes on Kootenai County sheriff's forum from Wednesday night. Three people are qualified to replace Rocky Watson as sheriff: Ben Wolfinger, Keith Hutcheson, and maybe Bob Foster. Three people have a chance to win the race: Ben Wolfinger, Keith Hutcheson, and John Green. Wolfinger, obviously, has most hands on experience. Hutcheson is the only one of the others who could hit the ground running. Green's supporters were the noisiest. I waited in vain all night for a question that would force Green to address his political philosophy about the sheriff's office. But it's only February. We have a long one to go before this one is decided. Now for your Wild Card.
