It’s
not as striking as the Vaughn Ward-Barack Obama mashup video that went
viral in the 24
hours before the primary election, but Ada County
libertarian-leaning Republicans have a
new election eve video
they’re hoping makes a difference Tuesday. In May, the beneficiary was GOP 1st District congressional nominee Raul Labrador, who upset Ward by 9 points. Now, the producer of that video, District 17 Senate nominee Lucas
Baumbach is among 11 Ada County Republicans offering testimony in a
9-minute video urging Kootenai County voters to elect Rep. Phil Hart,
R-Athol, to a fourth term. … “He’s being smeared in the press,” says Baumbach in the video. “Don’t
be fooled. If the newspaper’s against him, he is probably one of the
best conservatives that we have”/

Question: Are you surprised that Ada County Republicans would stick their noses into a North Idaho election involving a multi-term incumbent vs. a write-in?
