Sightem: Mike & Mike

I was visiting my mother-in-law for dinner in Coeur d’Alene Place Sunday when the door bell rang. I heard a familiary voice when my mother-in-law answered the door, saying: “I’m Mike Kennedy, and I’m running for City Council.” Not only was Mike at the door, but Mike Kralicek (pictured) and his daughter were accompanied him. I’d never met Kralicek, the former Coeur d’Alene police officer who was critically wounded in the line of duty several years ago, so I introduced myself while MikeK worked my mother-in-law for her vote. Kralicek, who was in a wheelchair, told me how insurance companies refuse to insure him for anything not directly related to his disabling injuries. Councilman Mike said he has contacted Congressman Walt Minnick’s office re: the situation. We’ll probably have more on this situation later. Meanwhile, I didn’t have the heart to tell Councilman Mike that my mother-in-law no longer bothers to vote.

Question: Did any of you have a close encounter w/a candidate or his supporters over the weekend?
