Ward Gets Big Out of State Support, Labrador Gets Even Bigger In-State Support

Vaughn Ward picked up the endorsement of the House Conservative fund. This same fund supported Bill Sali in 2006 and is tied to the real conservatives in the U.S. House.  I think that pedigree of endorsement from the Conservative wing on the Hill is the type of thing that can make conservatives comfortable backing Ward if he is the GOP nominee.

However, I’ve just gotten word that Labrador is having an event in the next couple week and a half with  Speaker Lawrence Denney, Majority Leader Moyle, Caucus Chairman Ken Roberts, and several others. I tend to think the value of legislative endorsements is small, but probably larger than a group most Idahoans haven’t heard of.

While Conservatives have been disenchanted with government, in general. There’s not a whole lot of reason to be angry at the State House from a conservative perspective. They’d held the line on taxes and spending, approved pro-life legislation, even took some baby steps forward on education.

In a Republican Primary, it’ll help quite a bit to have so many of them in your corner.
