County “Republicans” Disagree

Seems two of the three wings of the Kootenai County Republican Party disagree on the candidates running in the GOPrimary, except for three: Congressman Raul Labrador, Bob Nonini in Senate District 3, and Steve Vick in Senate District 2. The anonymous posters behind the new Chuckle Berries Online appear to support the Phil Hart/Constitutionalist/UCNI wing of the local party, backing John Green for sheriff, Donald Gary for prosecutor, and, of course, Vito Barbieri and Hart. Chuckle Berries hasn't list an endorsement in the three-way race for incumbent Commissioner Dan Green's seat, which includes Larry Spencer. You can read their endorsements here. Reagan Republicans have endorsed Keith Hutcheson for sheriff, incumbent Barry McHugh for prosecutor, Green for one commissioner post, and Ed Morse over Hart for one House District 2 seat. You can read those endorsements here.

Question: Do either of these two slates of candidate appeal to you as a voter?
