As an Idaho resident, I'm very grateful that this was struck down. It's a terrible idea. Too bad Butch (governor) can't tell the difference between right and wrong when his corporate sponsors are involved (which is always).
- vlunkr 11y agoAs another Idaho resident, it will never stop being hilarious that the governor's name is "Butch" Otter. Doing his best to reinforce the redneck Idaho stereotypes.

- cweagans 11y agoIdaho is like the Alaska of the south.
- yellowapple 11y agoAre you trying to suggest that Idaho is part of the "south"? Or are you suggesting that Idaho is sufficiently-far north for southerners to be equivalent to Alaska?
- cweagans 11y agoNo, I'm suggesting that the ridiculous things we hear from Alaska (think about it's relative location to the US) are sort of like the ridiculous things we hear from Idaho (comparing it's relative location to the South).
- yellowapple 11y agoAh, I see. Carry on, then; I was simply confused :)
- rm_-rf_slash 11y agoMaybe if you guys elected that biker who debated in a leather jacket things would have been different. Or at least more interesting. ;)
- nostromo 11y agoHah! That guy stole my heart with his comments on accepting gay marriage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYntFCsukNk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYntFCsukNk (really gets going at 0:40)
- swordfishscott 11y agoThat video is pure gold.
- Pxtl 11y agoWait, you're telling me that a guy named "Butch" isn't the leather-jacket biker guy? How can you be named "Butch" and not be a biker? Idahoans, explain yourselves!
- mavrc 11y agoThere is no explanation for us. Also, not only is "Butch" not the biker in question, but the biker in question was not even the weirdest candidate for office. The televised gubernatorial debate was so bizarre it made Colbert. Enjoy. http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/sk5fyk/idaho-s-bizarre-gubernatorial-debate http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/sk5fyk/idaho-s-bizarre...
- hoprocker 11y agoEven better, his name is Harley (Brown)!
- cwbrandsma 11y agoIdahoan here: I don't think anyone said he wasn't a biker...but it seems he really likes his horses better. Dude tries really hard to keep his cowboy persona fresh.
- ryhanson 11y agoAlso an Idaho resident. I, too, am very grateful this got struck down. Just like I was glad when same-sex marriage was legalized with Butch being so against it. I absolutely love Idaho, but I very much dislike our Governor. Unfortunately he rarely does what the people want, and only makes decisions based on his own beliefs and sponsors, as you mentioned.
