‘Liberal’ Otter Skips Twin Falls Debate

The only candidate to be called a liberal in Idaho’s first gubernatorial debate (in Twin Falls) Wednesday was GOP Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter. But even though the incumbent didn’t attend the event, he was the main target of criticism. Democratic candidate A.J. Balukoff faced off against Libertarian candidate John Bujak in Twin Falls. Otter, who is running for this third term, declined to participate. All three candidates, however, have accepted debates together in other events throughout the state in the upcoming weeks. Both Balukoff and Bujak spent most of their time criticizing what they see as Otter’s failure to improve Idaho’s education system and the economy. They also vowed to remove the “good old boys” system they say Otter has created/ Associated Press . More here.
