The two top candidates in today's primary were the incumbent governor Brad Little, and his Trump-endorsed lieutenant governor Janice McGeachin. If you don't know about McGeachin, let's just say this: every damn time Gov. Little had to leave the state on official business McGeachin would attempt to overthrow him. Happened three times.

The third most prominent candidate was Ed Humphreys, who ran on a platform of repealing the state income tax.

ABC is reporting that with 78 percent of the vote in, Little beat McGeachin 55-29, with Humphreys taking 12 percent and five other candidates splitting the rest.

Unfortunately, Ammon "I promise to work from home if elected because I'm permanently trespassed from the Statehouse" Bundy is running as an independent so we're going to have to wait until November to see Gov. Little kick his ass at the polls.

yes indeed

2. I was hoping for her

He's nuts on ever issue too, but will beat any Democrat. She's so insane that we could win against her.

3. In what possible world would a Democrat win the Idaho governorship?

In Idaho you could run Our Lord And Savior The Real Jesus Christ on the Democratic ticket vs Cthulhu, Charles Manson, Hideki Tojo, Kim Il Sung, Satan, the Ayatollah Khomeini, Manuel Noriega, a random illegal immigrant caught trying to climb Trump's wall, or anyone else you can think of on the Republican ticket, and Jesus would lose.

No, Polybius. The general election in November is effectively a formality in this race. Little is awful, or at least he is now that the Idaho Freedom Foundation forced him into supporting their agenda under threat of impeachment, but he's a damn sight better than anyone else in that race.

6. Fob James and Roy Moore lost Alabama

This woman was Q-level. Running a Joe Manchin Democrat might have actually done it.

5. After reading that article on the NAZIS "invading" Idaho politics, I have been holding my breath

They may be a considerable distance to the north from Colorado, but far too close to feel anything but devastated at the extremist course their politics has taken. At least the despicable (and not the most deadly) R's have prevailed.
