As you know Sarah Palin was the star attraction today at Quest Arena in Boise stumping for Idaho 1st CD GOP hopeful Vaughn Ward. I want to extend a thank you to the Ward Campaign for giving ICB press credentials. It was fun tweeting during the event and irritating the print press with my presence at their table. As you know ICB is a huge Palin fan and today she did not let me down. I have some pictures and a video below/Idaho Conservative Blogger. More here.

Question: The Idaho Press Tribune/Nampa posted a story today, saying that mainstream Republicans are staying w/Ward despite his missteps. Will Palin's appearance on behalf of Ward today shore up his credentials among undecided conservatives in this race?
