Those close to former Rep. Bill Sali (R-Idaho) see a path to victory in the Republican primary for his old seat and think he might just go for it.

That would not be welcome news to those in Washington who would rather see another candidate as their nominee.

Sali is still mulling his options as the field for the race to face freshman Rep. Walt Minnick (D-Idaho) forms. Though nobody close to Sali professed any insider knowledge, they say the lack of a conservative candidate in the race is ripe for him.

“In examining candidates that have thrown their hat in, you need to ask whether these people are real, do they have the backgrounds to be serious contenders for nomination,” said Dennis Mansfield, a conservative activist and Sali supporter. “I don’t think the majority of the farmers and the businessmen and the moms and dads necessarily see it in the field.”
