Will Larry Craig endorse him?
Utah's strange neighbor to the north is offering Democratic primary voters a third choice later this month if Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton fail to enchant them.Keith Russell Judd comes across as a stand-up Democrat: He is pro-choice, wants to end the Iraq War, would blow Obama away in a bowling alley, plays bongos and — key in Idaho — is a member of the NRA.
Oh yeah, Judd is also an inmate at a federal prison in Texas.
Asked how a federal felon* could qualify for the Idaho ballot, Idaho Secretary of State Ben Ysursa says:
We got conned.
The state recently eliminated the requirement for candidates to gather signatures; now they just need to fill out a form and pay a $1,000 fee. The Spokane Spokesman-Review, reports Judd sent forms and checks to 14 states, but only Idaho bit.
*Judd is doing time for for making threats at the University of New Mexico.
