[Vision2020] Governors New Clothes

[Donovan Arnold]

Butch Otter was married to Simplot's Daughter. He has divorced her and is 
remarried.

I think a Democrat will win the 1st Congressional District seat long before 
it can win the entire state.  Eastern Idaho far to conservative.

Take Care,

Donovan J Arnold
