ICB: Tea Party Boise Backs Labrador

After the national Tea Party endorsed Dem Congressman Walt Minnick, Tea Party Boise made a point of saying that it wouldn’t endorse Minnick or any other candidate for the 1st Congressional District seat. Now, Idaho Conservative Blogger reports, it has reversed course and backed Raul Labrador: “After lengthy and careful evaluation of the candidates for congress in District 1, we have concluded that there is a clear choice in this primary race. TPB believes that Raul Labrador understands the issues facing Idahoans and America today, far better than his opponent, and will be the stronger candidate to challenge Rep. Minnick in November. Raul Labrador is our candidate for U.S. Congress in District 1 because he has, by far, the most “Real World” Idaho legislative experience, the proven courage to stand up to power, even within his own party, and he has dedicated his life in the Gem State, giving him a deep understanding of Idaho and its people.”

Question: Idaho Conservation Blogger calls the Tea Party endorsement huge for Labrador. Do you agree?
