At Least He Didn’t Call Her ‘Cupcake’

At OpenCDA, the HBO Commenter Formerly Known As DanG offers his two picks for North Idaho College Board of Trustees: Ron Nilson and Robert Ketchum. He states that the two will be able to unmask the happy face that NIC displays to the community when beneath the surface there's all sorts of skullduggery going on. Then, he mumbles something about graduation rates and that lawsuit over the Education Corridor lease-purchase agreement (that Judge Mitchell tossed and now is before Idaho Supreme Court on appeal). Seems DanG believes Nilson and Ketchum will put an end to the scam by big developers and LCDC to line their buddies' pockets in development of the education corridor. DanG believes Nilson will win but doubts that Ketchum can beat Wood because "there are too many doofi in this county who will vote for her because they believe her to be 'nice.'" Full DanG bloviation here.

Question: Did DanG get it right -- Wood & Nilson will emerge as winners of the NIC trustee races? Are you one of the "doofi" who thinks Christie is "nice"?
