There's a very full house for the Boise City Club debate today between Gov. Butch Otter and Democratic challenger Keith Allred. It's the biggest crowd the city club ever has had, with more than 400 reservations for lunch and an additional 70-plus listening in. The audience includes many other elected officials and legislators, plus at least two other candidates for governor, independents Jana Kemp and "Pro-Life."
