Vandersloot now GOPrez kingmaker

Frank VanderSloot, eastern Idaho businessman and one of the GOP’s wealthiest donors, is being courted by GOP presidential candidates eager to benefit from VanderSloot’s fundraising reputation, which he brought to bear as a critical fundraiser for Mitt Romney in the last presidential race, the AP reports. “It was surely a lot easier four years ago,” VanderSloot told The Associated Press. “There was a clear front runner to get behind. Romney was head and shoulders above the rest of the field … I surely have who I think will be the best president in my mind. But the question is, can they get elected? If they can’t get elected, you’re just wasting your time, aren’t you?”/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise. More here .
