Mr. Sali, please take note of the Wall Street Journal 

• All right already, we get the point. Don't slam Rep. Bill Sali into us with a sledge hammer. The Wall Street Journal is calling out Walt Minnick and incumbent Bill Sali on the race that shouldn't be a race. The lead alone tells the story. Stop making Idaho look like a bunch of bumpkins. PLEASE.

Here's the opening paragraphs:

SANDPOINT, Idaho — Bill Sali is defying the political odds by making Idaho's first-district congressional race competitive. That isn't good for Mr. Sali: He is the incumbent.

A 54-year-old Republican from Kuna, 18 miles from Boise, Mr. Sali represents one of the most heavily Republican electorates in the U.S. The district hasn't elected a Democrat to the House since 1992; in the 2004 presidential race, 69% of its votes went to George W. Bush.

• Even the Oregonian, who has no races of their own to comment on has fired a shot across this race.

Jeff Mapes posts: A competitive congressional race…in Idaho?

And writes: “Idaho is usually a dead zone for national political reporters. Who is interested in reporting about various hues of Republican politicians?”
