Michael Chadwick withdrew from the Republican primary over the weekend and threw his support behind state Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Eagle (pictured).  He pointed specifically to the 2006 primary race as the reason for withdrawing.  ”We don’t want a repeat of the 2006 congressional race where one candidate won the primary election with less than 26 percent of the votes,” said Chadwick. The Republican from Post Falls also had critical comments about Vaughn Ward, the Marine reservist seeking the GOP nomination.  Chadwick made a myriad of accusations against Ward, calling him a neo-conservative, a stealth candidate, and said that Ward is too moderate for some Republicans, like former presidential candidate John McCain, R-Ariz.  Chadwick even went so far as to claim that those around Ward embellished his accomplishments in the military and the Central Intelligence Agency/Dustin Hurst, Idaho Reporter.

Question: Does Michael Chadwicks' withdrawal from the 1st Congressional District race and support of Labrador mean anything significant, sense he was a long-shot candidate?
