Former Congressman Bill Sali has made his announcement - he’s endorsing Raul Labrador in the GOP primary for the 1st District congressional seat, the seat he formerly held. Sali said he didn’t inform Labrador of his decision in advance - he just asked him to be there. Said Labrador, “It is a surprise, but it’s an honor. … I thank him.”

Sali said he decided to endorse Labrador, a second-term Republican state lawmaker from Eagle, because “it takes a person who’s been there, who knows what it’s like to cast a tough vote.” More here. Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise

Well. Labrador was surprised. Are you?
