"The sky is just a little cloudy" for the Idaho GOP Congress, Governors, Idaho

And, those clouds you see are Larry Grant's campaign.

From Grassroots for Grant:

Larry Grant, asked about Craig's comment Sunday on Moscow radio station KUOI, replied, "Larry's got a lot of respect around Idaho. If Larry says to take me seriously, that's something a person ought to do."

"The Republican Party has a lot to answer for over the last few years, both in and out of state," Grant added. "There's a lot of reporting about how Congress may shift to the Democrats, and that makes every vote far more important. I think there are a lot of independents and certainly a lot of unhappy Republicans who are looking to see what their party does before they cast their votes this November."

Lewiston Tribune:

"Craig pointedly said an Idaho congressional seat could go to Democrats if Republicans don't recruit the state's 35,000 new Idahoans. 'That's a margin that could spell defeat,' Craig said.

In a previous interview, Craig told the Lewiston Tribune he considers Democratic candidate Larry Grant of Fruitland, a former Micron attorney, as a formidable contender for the open 1st Congressional District seat. Six Republicans are vying for the seat, which U.S. Rep. Butch Otter, R-Idaho, is leaving to run for governor. Democrat Cecil Kelly, a Coeur d'Alene businessman, also is running.

In addition to the Grant cloud, there is also a Brady for Governor cloud raining down on Butch Otter's recent attempt to sell off Idaho's bullet and bait heritage.
