ICB: Palin Backing Ward Is Ha-huge

I love Sarah Palin. She is the most charismatic, energetic, and well spoken (meaning she can articulate the conservative message) better than anyone on our side. She quite plainly is a Conservative/Republican Superstar. Palin endorsing Ward is, in my view, HUGE for the Ward campaign. Ward should take today’s endorsement and build from here. Palin’s announcement has the potential to eclipse the “gaffes” that have plagued the campaign as of late. This is an advantage for Ward to almost start new and build from here. As long as Ward can keep his campaign together and avoid any more silly “gaffes” from here until Primary election day, he will be tough to beat/ Idaho Conservative Blogger . More here .

Question: Who’s ahead in the Idaho Repub primary gaffe race — Raul Labrador or Vaughn Ward?
