It was probably inevitable that a clash between Idaho’s Second District Congressman, Mike Simpson, and Idaho’s First District Congressman, Raul Labrador, would develop.

Don’t be fooled, folks. There is growing evidence the two men hardly tolerate each other. Last week’s not so subtle “tit for tat” columns revealed much even to the untrained observer. It’s not just the canyon-wide differences on political and policy matters. It is that their style is different, which reflects real differences in their approach to public service/Chris Carlson, Carlson Chronicles. More here.

Question: Does it matter that Idaho Congressmen Raul Labrador & Mike Simpson aren't friendly?
