[Vision2020] Rep. Trail Should Switch Parties

[Tom Hansen]

My apologies to Judy Brown and her supporters.  Judy certainly has the
people of Idaho's 6th district at heart.  It's just that she has gone
head-to-head against a well established and very moderate legislator who
also has the people of Idaho's 6th at heart.

Again, my apologies for my flippant reference.
