Minnick campaign releases list of backers in all 19 counties

[ccharles000]

Idaho Rep. Walt Minnick released a list Thursday of more than 100 supporters who’ve signed onto his re-election campaign committee, with all 19 counties in the 1st Congressional District represented. The list includes 12 mayors, 11 county commissioners, and at least 10 Republican officials or contributors.

“I am honored and humbled by the support of so many community leaders,” Minnick said in a news release.

Minnick received the majority of votes in seven of the 19 counties in the 1st District in the 2008 election. His campaign manager, John Foster, said Minnick has worked to earn the support of people in all the counties. “All these counties are very important,” Foster told IdahoReporter.com. “All these towns are important. They all have important issues, and they all have voters that support Walt.” Foster said party affiliation wasn’t a key factor in putting together the list.

1. Funny

He lost my support and the support of dozens of other Idaho Democrats where I live. I won't knock on any doors, I won't donate money, and I won't vote for the bastard either - but apparently the local tea baggers think he's just terrific - they support him.
