Idaho Democrats: back in the game
The Idaho Falls Post Register recently reported that the Democrats are looking forward to fielding strong candidates for 2006.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brady, former Post Register publisher, is reportedly well ahead of his 2002 fund-raising pace.The party potentially has a strong candidate in the first congressional district, former Micron attorney Larry Grant, and a young, eager and aggressive candidate in the second district, Idaho Falls site worker Craig Cooper.
And the Idaho Dems are playing hardball, too:
And then there's the recent aggression of State Party Chairman Richard Stallings....The governor continues to raise money to pay off a $70,000 campaign debt, though he's not running for re-election in 2006.
"It makes you wonder what these big corporations have in mind when they pour cash into the governor's slush account and then show up at the Statehouse asking for laws that would benefit them," Stallings said.
Five days later, Stallings asked the Internal Revenue Service to investigate whether some of Kempthorne's purchases should be subject to state and federal taxes.
Bring it on. Indeed.
