2. Yeah, but Idaho's a solid red state
so the argument goes that it doesn't matter who is on the ballot there because it is solidly GOP.

At least, that's how I understand it. YMMV.

15. Well, Bruce Reed IS from Idaho!
Actually, I like Bruce a lot. He's a very funny guy, and he is a very knowledgable baseball fan.

9. How many people showed up vs the GOP Primary
The answer is unknown because the GOP Primary hasn't happened.
In 2004 Idaho went for GOP more then 2:1.

16. The problem is that HRC can't motivate people outside of her core support
to go caucus for her, and nothing more.

17. Clinton getting 17% is extremely suspect
When all the State and National Polls clearly show Obama at 95%-99%. I wouldn't be surprised in the least to find out that those evil fucks over at the Clinton Campaign brought in a bunch of old Jews from Florida into Idaho for the caucus.

19. It's always some excuse
For this one - it's "Open Caucus State." Or "a Red State."

For Louisiana it's "the Blacks."

For Connecticut it was "Limousine Liberals."

22. No - because media is barely talking about the size of Obama's sweep.
They've been downplaying yesterday's primaries every time I catch a segment.

Obama does well where Republicans can help pick our nominee.
