Trib: 2017 guv race will be free-for-all
In his Sunday editorial, Opinion Editor Marty Trillhaase of the Lewiston Tribune comments:
Boise businessman Tommy Ahlquist has guaranteed a pleasure cruise for the state’s political junkies - and a roller coaster ride for its politicians.
Ahlquist last week became the third Republican to seek his party’s nomination for governor. He followed Lt. Gov. Brad Little and former state Sen. Russ Fulcher, R-Meridian. Many expect Congressman Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, to make it a foursome.
This is a rarity in Idaho. To have a jungle primary for governor - in the vernacular of the political class -where you have the real element of surprise, you have to go all the way back to 1978. More here.
Question: Do you have a favorite for governor at this time?
