“Don’t take it personal.” I recall more than one well-meaning person saying those words to me in 2001 after I was roundly trounced in my bid to become mayor of Post Falls. I had to laugh. Nothing is more personal than putting your name on a [...]

A reader places an Election Day bet that rock-ribbed Republican Idaho doesn't have a single county named after a Democrat.
