Two Views On D Primary: 007 & CDA Canuck

James Bond: The Idaho Statesman’s Dan Popkey wrote a column a few months ago that detailed how Larry Grant alienated the Democrat Party, especially the national party that was pumping money into the race. My best guess is that Larry Grant really alienated the Democrat bosses. He’s being tossed aside. It’s inside baseball, mostly, because I don’t think the voters at large know about it or care much about it. Minnick and Grant are probably about equal in terms of their starting position against Sali.

CDA Canuck: I’m concerned. I think it’s a democratic screwup. I’m not very familiar with Minnick, but I know Larry Grant very well and think he is an outstanding candidate. With Andrus’ support he would have just as good a chance of beating Sali as Minnick in the general election. All Minnick’s candidacy, and Cecil’s support of it, is going to do is split the party and strengthen Sali. Sali is probably salivating.
