TPM:

Rex Rammell, a long-shot in the 2010 Idaho governor's race, made a joke about hunting President Obama at an event Tuesday night.

Rammell was speaking to a local Republican group about the state's wolf hunt, for which hunters must pay for "wolf tags." An audience member shouted out a question about "Obama tags."

"Obama tags? We'd buy some of those," Rammell responded.

Rammell said he won't apologize for the comments, but insists he was just joking.
