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

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.)

"Right wing nutcases usually are strong on immigration enforcement."

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.

Vasquez, Brandt and Sali are almost exactly alike on imigration.

Didn't Vasquez family get here because of a guest worker visa? Yes, I think so.

Sali apposes CAFTA.

Another difference between these three candidates is that Sali has NEVER IN 16 YEARs voted for a tax increase, the other two have.

Vasquez voted for a tax raise in his county this year and voted himself a wage increase too.

The people who are calling Sali a nut case, are the same RINOS calling Brandt and Vasquez the same kinda stuff.
