EDITORIAL: Is it a caucus or a carcass?

| March 1, 2024 1:00 AM

Tomorrow is Caucus Day for Idaho Republicans, a lamentable electoral mess brought about because a handful of party leaders wanted to butt in line ahead of other states who declare their presidential preferences earlier.

Any finger-pointing as to how we came to this juncture must be done in front of a mirror. Republicans hold a supermajority in the Idaho Legislature, so the caucus chaos can’t be pinned on the communists allegedly pulling political strings.

The governor, the lieutenant governor, the secretary of state, the attorney general, the controller, the superintendent of public instruction, yeah, even the dogcatcher are registered Republicans. Can’t blame Biden for this one.
