Clint Didier for Senate - strong candidate
I think this guy can win.
Libertarian Ron Paul endorses Didier
http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/archives/214087.asp?from=blog_last3
"Clint Didier is a dynamic leader who understands our Constitution and will fight against out-of-control government to restore our Liberty," Paul, a Republican presidential candidate in 2008, said in a statement.
The longtime Texas lawmaker went on to say: "Clint has the courage to stand up against the bailouts and government takeovers being forced down our throats by Washington insiders."
Didier, an Eltopia, Wash., alfalfa farmer, is a product of the Tea Party movement. He was cheered at a Tea Party rally in Bellingham on Thursday. Claiming the United Nations seeks to "take our guns," he said that the United States should get out of the U.N. and that the U.N. should get out of the U.S.
for some reason, the democrats are also pushing Didier, probably because they feel he is a weaker general election candidate:
Whenever Republican Didier has given a well-received speech, or secured a high-profile endorsement, the Dems' Senate campaign committee has blanketed the press with e-mails.
I'll take it, I think Dider can win it all, he is also endorsed by Sarah Palin:

If the Primary election was held today, which Candidate would you select for U.S. Senate?
Patty Murray (D) 33.4%
Charles Allen (D) 0.4%
Bob Burr (D) 0.5%
GoodSpaceGuy (D) 0.1%
Mike The Mover (D) 0.0%
Paul Akers (R) 6.5%
William E. Chovil (R) 0.5%
Clint Didier (R) 16.9%
Norma Gruber (R) 0.2%
Mike Latimer (R) 0.2%
Dino Rossi (R) 15.9%
Will Baker (I) 0.3%
Schalk Leonard (I) 0.7%
James Mercer (I) 0.5%
Mohammad Said (I) 0.2%
Undecided 23.7%
Margin of Error (MoE) 1.04%
According to this poll, Clint Didier is slightly likely to get 2nd place and hence, make the final ballot where he would have a shot at winning. Ron Paul's endorsement should give him a bump of money and media.
Didier is 6'5", he was a Tight End in the NFL for 8 years. He played for 6 years with the Washington Redskins, so he should have some name recognition. In his rookie season, the 1982, season, the Skins won the Super Bowl. In 1987, they won the Super Bowl again, with Didier scoring a touchdown. They made the playoffs every season he was there, except one, and they still won 10 games that season. He also played in the 1983 Super Bowl and caught 5 passes in the game. The Redskins often used a two Tight End set in those days.
So in 6 seasons in Washington, he played in three Super Bowls. He won two Super Bowls, and had a notable game in two Super Bowls, one in a win and one in a loss. His team made the playoffs 5 times, and won 10 games or more 5 times (in the other season, a strike year, the Skins were 8-1 and won the Superbowl). His teams won 11 playoff games in those years, losing only 3 playoff games. In the regular season, the Skins won 66 games and lost ony 22 over a 6 year stretch.
The offensive line on those days for Washington was known as "The Hogs", with Didier being the Tight End hog.
Then, Didier played two more season with the Green Bay Packers. In his final season, 1989, the Packers surprised everyone and won 10 games, it was the beginning of their revival.
He was good enough and played long enough that I remember him from the NFL.
Didier also played high school football in Washington where he was a star, then his college football nearby at Portland State (Oregon) where he was also a star. He is a member of the Portland State Hall-of-Fame and the Central Washington Hall-of-Fame.
Didier is also a high school football coach in Washington. His team won state twice and twice more played in the championship game.
This guy is also endorsed by Sarah Palin. He quotes Thomas Jefferson and goes to tea party rallies. He obviously has a brain and must be pretty well known in Washington.
I think this guy can win the whole thing and be in the Senate next year.
