State Rep. Raul Labrador handily defeated Vaughn Ward 48%-39% in Tuesday’s Idaho primary, and will go on to challenge Democratic Rep. Walt Minnick this November.(emphasis mine)
Ward, the establishment favorite, had a six-to-one money advantage over Labrador, and had a heavy television presence while Labrador ran only radio spots. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin also campaigned for Ward in the closing days of the race.
And I really love the fact that another of Sister Sarah's anointed got pasted.
………Truth be told, I'm not sure if Palin would have endorsed Ward but for the fact that his opponent was Hispanic.
Ward also faced plagiarism allegations on his campaign Web site and in his speeches. Politico reported that Ward’s kick-off campaign speech in January closely mirrored that of President Barack Obama’s 2004 speech at the Democratic National Convention.
He was also dinged by the Pentagon for appearing in uniform in a campaign ad, and was forced to take down the ad.
There have been enough reports of Sarah Palin's disdain for minorities, particularly Alaskan Eskimos and Indians to make one wonder about how she feels about non-whites.
Still, heh.
