DOTC: I Was A Dead Pol Walking

In the comments section, DanoftheCommunity and Spencer debated re: the impact of the Brannon-Kennedy post-election trial on his defeat as county clerk by Cliff Hayes last fall. Spencer believes the city issue lapped over into county politics. Dan points out that most Democrats in Idaho, including then Congressman Walt Minnick, were dead politicians walking. Quote: “Without the Cd’A Election Saga I might have gotten as high as even 42 or 43 percent. But would I have won? Not on your life, not that year. So I think the best you and your friends can claim on that one is you helped make a “dead politician walking” a little bit deader when all was said and done. But I don’t believe for a minute (and I think you know better) that the Brannon-Kennedy case had anything to do with my losing, or especially with Cliff’s winning. As a Democrat in Idaho I was just out of time.

Question: Which Democrat has the best chance of winning an election in North Idaho in the next 2 years?
