Brandt Endorses Labrador

State Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Eagle, has received an endorsement in his race against Vaughn Ward for the right to face Democrat Walt Minnick in the November general election. The endorsement comes from Idaho County Commissioner Skip Brandt, who ran for the same seat in a six-way primary in 2006 when it was vacated by then-Rep. Butch Otter, who left to run for governor.  Brandt failed in his bid secure the seat when Republican Bill Sali won the race with 26 percent of the vote.  (See who Sali endorsed in the 2010 race here)/Dustin Hurst, Idaho Reporter.

Question: Which is better -- being endorsed by Commissioner Skip Brandt, as Labrador was, or landing on Sean Hannity's show, as Vaughn Ward will be?
