Four statewide elected officials and one-quarter of Idaho's GOP state legislators will attend tonight's Freedom Celebration Banquet at the Nampa Civic Center, the foundation said in a news release. U.S. Rep. Raul Labrador and conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart are the guest speakers. A crowd of about 400 is expected, about twice the turnout last year. Confirmed attendees include: Gov. Butch Otter, Lt. Governor Brad Little, Treasurer Ron Crane and Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna. (The only North Idaho legislator currently planning to attend is Rep. Phil Hart, R-Athol.)/Dan Popkey, Statesman. More here.

Question: Is this an indication that Idaho Freedom Foundation has gone mainstream Idaho?
