Bob Nonini Switches Parties?

Yeah, I know there’s no love for state Rep. Bob Nonini, R-Post Falls, among some in the Idaho Senate who are still miffed that he spent thousands in the GOP primary trying to unseat 3 incumbent senators, including Shawn Keough, R-Sandpoint. But isn’t this a bit extreme? Archconservative Nonini switching parties? Actually, Nonini was spouting his conservative views against a possible state insurance exchange when Coeur d’Alene Channel 19 flashed the message above. The true Democrat in the Senate District 3 race, Kristy Reed Johnson, had just spoken. (Courtesy photo from Dan Gookin’s Facebook page)
