Idaho primary next week, then SUPER Tuesday!

The May 23rd Idaho primary--only one that week--features an OPEN seat contest for ID01, which was Butch Otter's seat. Otter is seeking the Republican nomination for governor and seven Gopers are vying for his seat and three Dems. The only women on the ballot are Republicans Sheila Sorenson (former state senator) and Sandy Patano (former aide to U.S.Senator Larry Craig). The National Journal calls that district "historically Democratic but leaning Republican"...

And on Tuesday, June 6th there are primaries in CA, Iowa, MS, Montana, NJ, NM and South Dakota. Francine Busby (D) is moving in on replacing Duke Cunningham (50-R) -- and the only other OPEN SEAT up for grabs is IA01 (Nussle-R) with no women on the ballot..Lots of other interesting races, stay tuned!
