Huckleberries Hears …

… That Chairwoman Tina Jacobson of the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee raised some eyebrows last night when she announced that Sheriff Richard Mack would be the main speaker for the elephants’ Lincoln Day March 24. What’s the big deal. Mack ran as a Libertarian against a Republican in a 2006 U.S. Senate race in Arizona. Apparently, according to local elephants pushing for his appearance, that’s okay because he’s a friend of controversial Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was greeted with open arms by Kootenai County Republicans during a 2010 visit. Word is that  Mack is now running as a Republican for an elected post in Texas. Which would mean that he is the perfect speaker for Kootenai County Republicans, whose Central Committee is crawling with former Libertarians and has a warm spot in their partisan hearts for Constitutionalists, too.

Question: What do you suppose the “Reasonable Republicans” think about the Lincoln Day pick?
