I think this primary race has shown that Schroeder is a fighter. Faced
with this serious challenge, he has not caved, he has risen to the
occasion, fighting back hard and intelligently. I am impressed.
When he says he is in Boise fighting for our interests, I am going to
believe him.
And now after this attack, if he is re-elected, I think he will be a
more effective legislator and certainly a better guardian of education.

<div>Dear Visionaries:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I understand from a wide variety of sources that voter turn
out is key to the Schroeder-Vance race. The Vance crowd is hoping for
a low turn out, which will allow a small but driven hard right minority
to oust the moderate Schroeder. I strongly encourage voters to look
closely at these candidates. Gregg Vance's political views on a host
of issues ranging from public education to basic civil rights are
indistinguishable from Doug Wilson's. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Tuesday's primary is just as important as November's election,
and so, as they used to say in old Chicago, "Vote early and vote often."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Joan Opyr/Auntie Establishment</div>
<div> </div>
<div>PS: Don't like waiting in line? Go to the Latah County
Courthouse on Monday and vote absentee. It's quick, it's easy, and you
can keep your virtuous, civic duty buzz on for a whole extra day. </div>
