| Description | The speculation is over.
Lt. Gov. Jim Risch will run for re-election and not challenge Congressman C.L. "Butch" Otter for the Republican nomination for governor.
Risch never said he was going to run for governor, but he never said he wasn't — and that was enough to fuel months armchair politicking.
It would have been a blockbuster primary, but Risch's announcement confirmed what most politicos had been thinking: Otter's early entry into the race, his fundraising and support-gathering all but put him out of reach — even for somebody like Risch, considered by some to have one of the wiliest political brains in Idaho. |
