State Highlights
In a Republican year and a Republican state, the G.O.P. swept Idaho, as Raul Labrador, a state representative from the Boise area, unseated Walt Minnick, a one-term Democrat who outspent his opponent by more than four to one.
Mr. Minnick, one of the most conservative Democrats in Congress, had backed away from his party’s agenda on economic issues and voted against the health care overhaul and the federal stimulus package. But even those positions proved insufficient to persuade Idaho voters to re-elect him. And advertisements that depicted Mr. Labrador, a Puerto Rico-born lawyer who has worked on immigration cases, as soft on illegal immigrants appeared to have backfired after even some Democrats found them unfair.
Idaho voters also re-elected three Republican incumbents — Senator Michael D. Crapo, Gov. C. L. Otter and Representative Mike Simpson— by large margins.
