Good morning..do you know if Idaho primary law requires a majority, or a plurality, for the nomiation, or is there a run-off?

Idaho has no run-offs. The candidate who polls the most votes in the primary is the nominee.

Ideally, that nominee will be Robert Vasquez.

Just a plurality, which benefits Vasquez. If he was to get a run-off, he'd lose, but with six candidates and him standing out the most on the anti-illegal and anti-CAFTA stance, he could get in there with the other five splitting the conservative/moderate vote. Vasquez also raised the most money for the January-March quarter and is third overall (only due to Sorensen donatiing 100,000 to herself) which makes me think he'll have the money edge before this is all said and done (he is right on Sali's heels.)

I'm not so sure. His website talks of "safe and sane borders" which makes me think he wants a guest worker plan. Plus he is the only one in the race, republican or democrat, who hasn't run a commercial or has something on his website stating he is opposed to CAFTA.
