BOISE Idahos red state roots havent faded, but political infighting inside its Republican Party has left many feeling disenfranchised with the so-called traditional GOP candidates who will appear on this years election ballot.

Tea party voters, who showed to be a powerful voting bloc in the May GOP primary election, are threatening to stay home or vote for a Democratic candidate rather than vote for the Republican.

This means Gov. Butch Otter, who is seeking a third term, could face a tighter race against Democratic challenger A.J. Balukoff, a millionaire who has said hell spend as much as he needs to win.

Ive never voted for a Democrat, Ive been a lifelong Republican, but in November, Im voting for Balukoff, said Rob Waite, superintendent of Shoshone School District in south-central Idaho.

Waite, who has lived in Idaho for the past five years, said hes a libertarian who agrees with most of the tea party platforms.

As a superintendent, Waite said hes most interested in the gubernatorial candidates plan to improve education in Idaho, citing low public school funding and lackluster college graduation rates as high areas of concern.

In order to solve the problem, you first have to recognize theres a problem, Waite said. I dont think Otter recognizes theres a problem.

Up in northern Idaho, state GOP Rep. Vito Barbieri said its doubtful his conservative district would swing Democratic, but he thinks many voters will be likely to leave the governors box unchecked.

During the GOP May primary election, Barbieris district located in Kootenai County, one of the states most populated areas backed tea party favorite state Sen. Russ Fulcher in the governors race.

Voters are still very upset at the governor for abandoning previously articulated principles, he said. They are very much in the mood to punish him in this election.

The Woodlands Children's Museum hosts the Mad Hatter Tea Party Oct. 3

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is under fire for comments comparing Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker's record with domestic violence.

"Scott Walker has given women the back of his hand. I know that is stark. I know that is direct. But that is reality," Wasserman-Schultz said Wednesday during a round-table discussion in Milwaukee.

"What Republican tea party extremists like Scott Walker are doing is they are grabbing us by the hair and pulling us back," the Florida congresswoman continued. "It is not going to happen on our watch."

Democrats are hoping they can exploit the gender gap in politics that shows Republicans struggling to attract female voters. They have hammered opponents over blocking a federal minimum wage hike -- women are a majority of minimum-wage earners -- and for backing efforts to restrict access to abortion.

But Republicans quickly pounced on Wasserman Schultz's comments, accusing her and her party of manufacturing a "Republican war on women."

"I think the remarks were absolutely hideous and the motive behind them was despicable," said Walker's Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, a Republican, whose statement was passed on by Walker's office. She called on Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke to denounce "these outrageous statements."

A spokeswoman for Burke distanced the candidate from Wasserman Schultz's words.

"That's not the type of language that Mary Burke would use, or has used, to point out the clear differences in this contest," said Burke press secretary Stephanie Wilson. "For the last 11 months of this campaign, and in the final 9 weeks left to go, Mary is committed to pointing out those clear differences -- there is plenty that she and Governor Walker disagree on -- but those disagreements can and should be pointed out respectfully."

Recent polling in the state shows Burke eliminating Walker's lead and now in a tie.

Lily Adams, a spokeswoman for the DNC, pointed to the Democrats' support of the Violence Against Women Act -- the reauthorization of which some Republicans in the House tried to block in recent terms.
