Otter is over. His threats are empty. He also said there would be hell to pay if his picks for this and that office were not advanced. Nobody listens to Otter. Seriously. LOL. Can’t we get a Simplot to support Sharon Ullman? LOL.

Sharon is for Sharon, always has been, and will never change. She has NEVER had the people of Idaho in mind.

I also happen to like and respect Ms Ullman. I have followed her career from previous term to present and my admiration for her efforts and diligance has grown tremendously. I respect her the most for her grassroots low-budget campaign especially in our current economical dilemna. I see a positive change in Idahos future should Sharon Ullman win this election based on her current record as Commisioner. She has my vote and support.

I happen to like and respect Sharon. The problem is she has no name recognition outside of Ada County. The only way she will get her message out statewide will be by spending huge amounts of money.
As soon as Otter declares, her donations from the “heavy hitters” in tha ag busines and PAC money will evaporate. Not because Otter is any better of a candidate, but he will be perceived as the favorite and these groups don’t want to “piss ” him off, fearing retribution if he wins. The bottom line here is that Sharon will fade due to a lack of money. One needs to always remember that in politics, “it is much better to be owed a favor than owing”. If she does decide to run, these wingnuts that are talking her into it better get their checkbooks out and make substantial donations “up front”. That is when Sharon will find out she is being “stroked”!

I personally like the idea that campaign contributions are limited by law. I also like to think that the small amount I am able to contribute to candidates helps the person with modest means to step up and run for public office. Even if they don’t get elected it gets the conversation about issues and opportunites out there for public consumption.

Give some thought to sending a few bucks to someone you can support. They might get elected and make our community a better place.

I am very pleased that Sharon will run for guv. She’s probably the best candidate we’ve had in several decades. She’s got my vote and support.

Interesting that “one of the highest forms of expressing free speach” is limited by federal law.

It takes big bucks to run for just about any public office. Just because you like someone will not get them into public office. It takes financial support from “we the people”.

Words of support are nice but a check for some of the necessities of running for office would be nice as well.

I have reached the point in life where I realize campaign contributions are one of the highest forms of expressing free speech.

It takes money organization and voter support to get yourself elected.
