I dont know Newcomb, but if he was a class-act Republican, he would make a public endorsement of Sali and help him at his next fundraiser.
Now is the time for the party to rally around their candidate and win in November.
Let the Rats waste their money on this district.
Even if Sali proves not to be a good candidate, they can't win anything but Coeur d'Alene and Sandpoint -- not enough.
Would this sentiment apply to Chaffee ? Or is this a one way street ?
This district looks like a republican version of downtown Detroit in that it is unwinable for the democrats.
Newcomb, the Republican speaker of the House, a month ago publicly called Sali a "frigging idiot" because in floor debate, Sali truthfully talked about evidence linking abortion with an increased risk of breast cancer. Don't hold your breath waiting for "class."
