yeah, I'm with "SaturnVII" He didn't win big at all...

Actually, he won the democratic caucus in Idaho by over 80%. Look it up.

[SaturnVII]

Sir, I live in Idaho and Obama did not win big. He got 15000 people to come to the Taco Bell arena and there is 1000000 people in Idaho. I wouldn't be surprised really if almost all the people there were from Blaine County. It's the only Democratic county in Idaho.

Thanks for the reply. If you look at the tags for the video, you'll notice that this post is associated with Obama's Democratic Caucus win in Idaho in February, 2008. Obama did in fact win the Democratic Caucus by an overwhelming 80+%. Blaine County is not the only Democratic county in Idaho, either. In fact, Obama won Blaine, Latah, and Teton Counties in Idaho in 2008. Al Gore even beat George Bush in Ada County in 2004. This video is of Dave Bieter in the Qwest Arena at the Dem Caucus.

I don't know where you get your information, but in the first place Al Gore ran in 2000...it was John Kerry who ran in 2004. And in second place, both lost Ada County overwhelmingly to Bush. Ada County has not voted for a Democrat for president since Lyndon Johnson in 1964.

Sorry...wrong year. I meant 2000. And now you're making me doubt myself... perhaps I meant Boise City? I believe Gore took one or the other in 2000.

Gora Jamies Cooper!

Very interesting

[SaturnVII]

Obama won one county in Idaho and that's probably where the majority of the people came from. It's not really far from Boise anyway.
