A Debate Review — From Julie In Boise

Sheesh. I come all the way from Boise and don’t even merit a mention here on HBO.

I can’t believe you guys were at Hastings afterward. I came right back to my motel and wrote up my post. What sort of political junkies are you?

Seriously, I am impressed that NIC packed da house. And as a Grant staffer, I respect that Sali is at least willing to debate us, unlike the other Idaho GOP candidates who are bailing on the notion of face-to-face discourse.

I think Larry won, but it wasn’t a KO by any means. For people who don’t know the true extremes of Sali’s positions nor the antipathy he provokes, he mainly came across as a guy who doesn’t like government very much - except when he does (re: his answer on the FDA assuring presciption drug safety).
