[edit] Dan Adamson
Dan Adamson, a Republican, announced his run for Governor of Idaho on January 6, 2006. He might just give "Butch" a run for his money.
- Adamson ran a respectable campaign, but nontheless it was only good for second place in the GOP primary. He's done for the cycle. --Faustus37 15:48, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Brady badly defeated
Removed the word "badly" from the last line. Brady got 42% (and over 170,000 votes) compaired to Kempthorne's 56%. While a decisive win, it's not a landslide. Compaired with the Presidential candidates (27% for gore, 28% for Kerry) and other state wide Democratic candidates (almost all of which were at least 40,000 votes shy of Brady) Brady did exceptionally well.
- If memory serves Brady actually won in Ada County, albeit just barely. --Faustus37 23:44, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ESA
The section entitled "Opposition to Endangered Species Act" is poorly phrased. While Otter was of vocal proponent of Dick Pombo's efforts to amend the Endangered Species Act, writing several editorials championing that legislation, this section does not mention it. While one could plausibly infer that Otter's position on Grey Wolves is linked to distate for the ESA, the title of the segment and the segment itself are at a disconnect. Either information about his support for Pombo's legislation needs to be added or the segment needs to be renamed. Since the latter is simpler, I'll go ahead and do that. —Wgbc2032 (talk • contribs) 10:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Re:
No problem- I just didn't know how to word it at the time. Maybe I'll do some research into the possibility of a section on any "opposition to Endangered Species Act," but at this point the section is sufficient. I did, however, do a little re-arranging and returned the quote from the environmental spokeswoman because I think that the "general unnerving" should probably be a little clearer.

[edit] Conservative?
I'd say he's a centrist. See [1]. 1ne 04:58, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wolves
Does anyone know when the killing of the wolves is planned to begin? Poor wolves... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.192.95.244 (talk) 02:26, 7 March 2007 (UTC).
- It hasn't been passed yet. There's one month left before the Fish & Wildlife Service goes to ballot to vote whether wolves should remain protected or not. Hopefully they choose what's biological manageable/intelligent and vote against this monster of a governor. If you're interested in voting in support of continued protection for wolves and don't support the ridiculous mindset of 'Slaughter' Otter, visit the Defenders of Wildlife website to sign the petition. --Bentonia School 23:54, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] page title
Isn't he normally called Butch Otter? Shouldn't that be where the page is? john k 21:37, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
