Nice work!

As someone who lives near "the border" on Cole Road (which is in fact part of the border between CD-01 and -02, coincidentally), I do note that the precincts aren't "winner take all," so the yellow of precinct 56 (105 to 101 for Litster) isn't the same as, say, 94 (283 to 180); it would be cool to see more than 2 levels.

It is unfathomable to me why we would re-introduce wolves just so we can shoot them. The entire ordeal is a horrible tragedy. The Idaho lawmakers who allow this and the people who are participating in this bloodsport should be full of remorse and shame for the pain they are inflicting on these animals.
To shoot animals for food is one thing, but to kill sentient beings for sport is just plain cruelty and should be illegal. How were these people who enjoy torturing animals raised to have no compassion?

When they join the military, they take an oath to defend the country and the Constitution. That oath supersedes their religious beliefs. End of story.

'Michael Cahill, a physician assistant at the base, was the only civilian to be killed in the attacks, and his family spoke to CBS News to denounce the scapegoating of Muslims.

"You can't blanket a whole group of people. There's extremists in every religion, and there's extremists all over the world," said Cahill's daughter, Kerry. "And I don't think that we can blanket a whole group of people when this man obviously was ill, I think."

Cahill's other daughter, Keely Vanacker, expanded: "The death of our father, or any of these victims, shouldn't be an excuse or reason to begin to hate an entire group of people."'

Bryan Fisher is dead wrong. Bigotry is ugly, and goes against everything this country stands for.

Mockshift, have you downloaded Cocktail Compass to your iphone yet? You sound lost...

I'm afraid to say it - but there are differences in overall community patterns east / west. Also interesting that one of TJ Thompsons first public statements was that he was "not a liberal". That's not what you would glean from the map ...

I love and am a bit horrified at the turnout that can produce a 106/92 race with another candidate bringing in 41 ... not that many people really.
