Palin fathers will campaign for Idaho Republican candidate

[Are_grits_groceries]

WASHINGTON — The fathers of Sarah and Todd Palin will be joining forces this month to help an Idaho congressional candidate who's getting an early start on his 2010 election bid.

Both Chuck Heath and Jim Palin will be in Idaho later on this month to help out Vaughn Ward, a Republican candidate for Congress. They’ll be attending events for Ward at the end of the month in Boise and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Ward's campaign spokesman said.

The former Alaska governor's father is an Idaho native who graduated from Sandpoint High School in northern Idaho. Palin, Sen. John McCain’s vice-presidential running mate last year, is herself is a 1987 graduate of the University of Idaho.

Ward is a 40-year-old veteran of the Iraq War who worked on Dirk Kempthorne's staff when Kempthorne was a senator from Idaho. Most recently, Ward worked for the McCain-Palin presidential campaign in Nevada. He also has secured McCain’s endorsement.

2. I know

I can only imagine how difficult of an election the republicon candidate would have without the help of such stellar conservative stars as the Palin fathers. Wow, just wow, the star power.

4. Depends on which end you're on

Top or bottom.

3. Probably will also be visiting some fellow white supremacists they haven't seen...

in awhile
while in Idaho.

Palin's father is REALLY creepy. I think those grandiose lies that he flattered her with (for WHATEVER reason) while she young and living at home, really contributed to her inflated ego.

5. Well, heck, why not bring in Joe the Plumber's father, too?

Bring on those GOP heavyweights!

:rofl:

Why wait?

8. How bizarre. And embarrassing. The Palin Pops do Idaho because the local republican

candidate doesn't deserve the full Sarah.
