Second, I think that Donovan is wrong in suggesting that Idaho will not vote
for a gay candidate.

 Nicole Lefavour was elected to the Idaho state senate, becoming the first
openly gay person ever elected in the state:

She was interviewed the past few days in Boise for national news about the
Craig issue.  I was happy to see this, given the reputation Idaho has around
the nation as a bigoted state.

However, don't expect an openly gay US Senator from Idaho to be elected any
time soon... Idaho passed a super DOMA by a wide margin in 2006.  And Idaho
remains one of the most solidly "conservative" states in the nation, even
after the Blue Revolution in 2006.
