Crapo Tells Rammell To Apologize

“Rex Rammell’s comments are in very poor taste and should not have been said . Remarks like these should not even be made jokingly.  We are engaged in a critical national debate over many major issues facing our country today.  Remarks like these are not only unhelpful in that debate, but they undermine it.  He should apologize for those remarks and for the perception they may have created“/ U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo , as posted on Eye On Boise. More here .

Question: Rammell, of course, doesn’t have a ghost of a chance of becoming Idaho’s next governor. In fact, this furor has won him more attention than the many times he appeared with Demo Larry LaRocco at debate forums that now U.S. Sen. Jim Risch avoided last year. Will there be any net affect from this flap in terms of votes won or lost by Rammell?
