It seems like Republican Lt. Governor Jim Risch and Democrat candidate Larry LaRocco have run against one another before…oh that’s right because they just did back in November of ’06 – and Risch beat LaRocco soundly. Early public polls have Risch pummeling LaRocco 52% to 36%, and another well regarded state and local leader, Attorney General Lawrence Wasden, also pounding LaRocco 46% to 36%. Not a good time to be LaRocco in Idaho.
WASHINGTON – As the race to succeed U.S. Sen. Larry Craig heats up, fundraising appeals for the top two candidates are turning up in mailboxes in Idaho and around the country.Both Lt. Gov. Jim Risch, a Republican, and former congressman Larry LaRocco, a Democrat, have been raising money to run for Craig’s seat.
