Washington: Seattle vs. the rest of the state politically
Oregon: Portland vs. the rest of the state politically
Idaho: Boise vs. the rest of the state politically?
I wonder if Idaho will be going the same route as the other PNW states, in which one population cluster dominates the rest of the state politically.
This is the fear, and alluded to in your OP link. After three years here, Boise is just nuts. Whenever I'm there having lunch or something and someone asks me where I'm from, I always say, "Across the border over in Idaho."
I mean, other than like the North End and the students, Boise is not nearly as bad as places like Denver and not even close to Seattle or Portland. However the "villains" in the AP article are not far right supremacist wackos. They are traditional conservatives, whose values are what attracted people like me to Idaho. They are not a new, far right contingent. They are, I suppose you could say, the "old white men" that people want to die off.
If "Republicans" like Kustra get their way, I guarantee what happened to Colorado will happen to Idaho within five years.
