Ward reminded me of Kempthorne, all nicely packaged and presented and really, an empty suit. Just nothing there. Fortunately his gaffs were worthy of a few wincing laughs. I sort of enjoyed him touting himself as a fourth generation Idahoan (who had to rent a house here from which to campaign because it had been so long since he’d lived here) Might be a new conspiracy for the birthers to jump on.

I want to give credit to Dan Popkey for his summary of the Vaughn Ward melt down in Thursday’s (Friday?) paper. It is amazing and comforting that even with all the party money and backup a candidate can lose for just being really dumb. Dan wrote a really good, clear summation of the vote. Not being a Repub I really don’t care that much but I really appreciate a good column. Good for you Dan!

Um, it ain’t over. There’s still a general election and there’s a Democrat running against Yzaguirre, Larry Rincover. I don’t know Larry but the trad med seems to be glossing over his existence. Maybe thats commentary in itself but my understanding is that he actually originated the “administrator’ plan Bisterfeld and Simmons had for a platform.

The country may have now coined the phrase “to pull a Vaughn Ward” when referring to an ambitious young politician who wants to win so bad that he resorts to incredibly stupid measures.
