Minnick now? Not that I'll exactly miss him if he's gone.

Labrador tried to put some ads up on the air but they were taken down for being misleading. I'd honestly expect Minnick to have more than a 10 point lead in north Idaho. No one besides the most ardent teabaggers really knows who Labrador is besides as that "mexi looking guy who likes illegals". His signs are everywhere but no one likes him (this is from my canvassing/phonebanking knowledge).
Expect to see a big divide between Labrador's stomping grounds in Nampa and other Boise suburbs and the rest of the district.

Not sure if you realize this, but Democratic campaigns don't have volunteers canvass or phone bank Republican voters. You're primarily set up to preach to the choir and boost turnout amongst the faithful, not win the hearts of the skeptics.
