Idaho’s 2008 Team: Larry & Barack?

This is one of my all-time favorite campaign buttons. Since former U.S. Sen. Larry Craig is back in the news, I thought I might amuse some of the newcomers with this 2008 “blast from the past.” Here’s the cutline: “a Barack Obama ticket button made for use in Idaho, is seen with former Idaho Republican Sen. Larry Craig, instead of the Democratic nominee for that seat, Larry LaRocco. The Lewiston Tribune reported that Bill Hall, editor emeritus of the paper’s editorial page, was able to get some of the defective buttons from the Ohio-based button manufacturer Tigereye Design’s Web site before they were corrected.
