Rasor Wants Idaho GOP To Back Paul

Cornel Rasor (pictured), the conservative chairman of the Bonner County Board of Commissioners who helped bring us the Property Rights Council, has circulated a five-page email to Idaho state GOP Central Committee members, asking them to endorse the presidential campaign of maverick Ron Paul. Rasor maintains the 12-term Texas congressman is the only candidate of the remaining four that has a chance to beat President Barack Obama in the general election. Rasor writes: "Because of his wide appeal amongst independent voters, Congressman Paul is likely the only Republican candidate that will be able to defeat Barack Obama. He is certainly the only candidate that will offer substantial government reform. Even if you don't agree with him on every issue, you can be assured that his principled consistency will guarantee that you will know exactly where he stands, and that he truly will do what he says."

Question: What do you make of Rasor's endorsement of Ron Paul?
