Labrador Mum On Tea Party Backing

On Monday, Democrat Walt Minnick decided to reject an endorsement from the Tea Party Express, one of the national voices of the Tea Party movement.  Minnick, the lone Democrat endorsed by the group, condemned the group after its spokesman, Mark Williams, authored a fictional letter from what he called “Colored People” to President Abraham Lincoln.  The Tea Party Express has refused to rebuke Williams or remove him from his official position, which led to Minnick’s criticism of the group Monday.  Aides for his opponent, Republican Raul Labrador, won’t say if they are seeking or would accept an endorsement from the group/ Dustin Hurst , Idaho Reporter.

Question: Should Raul Labrador make a pre-emptive strike and reject any possible Tea Party Express endorsement?
