Idle thoughts: Ryan Zinke and CHIP

by: Jay Stevens

Fri Nov 14, 2008 at 12:07:50 PM MST


Just looking over election data a little, noticed this little fact: 63 percent of voters in Flathead county voted for I-155 - the expansion of CHIP...

...yet Ryan Zinke won SD2 by 1,000 votes, despite not only opposing I-155, but oposing the concept of CHIP altogether, while running against a candidate who had real health-care bonafides, Brittany MacLean. While I've heard a buzz that Zinke's ideology is a lot further right than he let on during the election, on most other issues, especially on conservationism, Zinke and MacLean's rhetoric was similar.

Question: was Zinke's win a failure in getting the message out about his stance on health care? Or did voters not care about the issue as much in a race for state legislature?
