Today Dino Rossi announced the support of South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint’s “Senate Conservative Fund” PAC. DeMint’s influential PAC has been active for months. Here’s who they’re backing. Rossi currently leads in the polls versus incumbent Patty Murray. 
Earlier, former Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin, threw her support behind candidate Clint Didier. 
Also in the news today Paul Aker dropped out of the race giving Didier his support. 
The Akers report is wrong. I’m so sorry that I reported that (speculation —obvious though it may have seemed). I’ve never heard of a joint news conference where two candidates join forces to run for office together.
