Labrador Runs From Vote Smart
U.S. Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, has raised $628,057 in campaign contributions and has $203,000 in the bank. Labrador’s Democratic opponent, Jimmy Farris, has raised $37,388. Labrador is a Tea Party darling. He’s a Republican in a state where the party label matters to voters. Farris is running on the same ticket with Barack Obama. Labrador is experienced — having served one term in the House and two in the Idaho Legislature. Before this campaign, Farris’ political background was limited to voting — just once. He’s a political neophyte and it shows. Labrador is on a glide path toward winning a second term. So what is Labrador afraid of? Why is he running away from Project Vote Smart? Not that Project Vote Smart is all that frightening. It’s a shoestring operation run from a ranch 40 minutes from Philipsburg, Mont./ Marty Trillhaase , Lewiston Tribune. More here.
Question: Should Congressman Labrador fill out his Vote Smart questionnaire?
