You're very welcome.

As a general rule, the only states which have primary run-offs are in the South.

FYI..NY State and NY city both have primary run offs..if a candidate doesn't get a 40% plularity in the primary, then 2-3 weeks later, there is a primary run-off between the 2 top vote getters..

Because Sali has recieved lots of money from outside Idaho means squat. I bet you anything he doesn't even place third among the six republicans, quote me on it.

Sali has raised alot of money and gotten endorsemenys from groups like, Club for Growth, Concerned Women Political Action Committee, National Right to Work, Government Is Not God PAC, Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund, Sixty Votes Coalition, Republican National Coalition for Life, Conservative Victory Fund, Idaho Chooses Life, The Coalition for Natural Health, Idaho Coalition for Natural Health, National Pro-Life Alliance, American Conservative Union, National Right to Life,House Conservatives Fund PAC , etc

But he has still out raised all the others from in state donors too.

I love Brandt, and Vasquez, but started working 7 counties for Sali because after much thought and prayer realized (as did the pacs listed above) that he was not only the most conservative, but had the greatest chance of winning.

As I go door, to door, and call people all day long I only hear two names that they like, Sali and Vazquez. Many hate Sheila, and Semanko. Sheila because she is a RINO, and Semank for his involvement with selling out North Central Idaho in the SRBA.

I believe it is Sheila in the lead, Sali next , Vasquez after Sali and the rest behind. I can tell you that I will be furious if a couple of those who are behind stay in , and give it to Sheila.

I'm not so sure. His website talks of "safe and sane borders" which makes me think he wants a guest worker plan. Plus he is the only one in the race, republican or democrat, who hasn't run a commercial or has something on his website stating he is opposed to CAFTA.

Vasquez, Brandt and Sali are almost exactly alike on imigration.

Didn't Vasquez family get here because of a guest worker visa? Yes, I think so.

Sali apposes CAFTA.

Another difference between these three candidates is that Sali has NEVER IN 16 YEARs voted for a tax increase, the other two have.

Vasquez voted for a tax raise in his county this year and voted himself a wage increase too.

The people who are calling Sali a nut case, are the same RINOS calling Brandt and Vasquez the same kinda stuff.
