Idaho-1
Larry Grant is one of several Democrats identified by our readers as a good man to support. This race is heating up with some recent news links below along with some highly recommended general links.
ID-1 is an open seat, and the GOP candidate is a guy we don’t want in Congress. Read this.
Once in a while a leader comes along who cuts across the partisan divide, brings us together and works in the best interest of all Idahoans. Republicans, independents and Democrats have such a leader in Larry Grant.Quotes here from Republicans about the GOP candidate. And here for an article in the Idaho Statesman on Republicans for Grant.
Other links at NewWest, 43rd State Blues, IdaBlue, Liberal Idaho, and Red State Rebels.
The district map is here. Idaho has been a red state, but also the home of great Western Democrats like the late Senator Frank Church. We have in Larry Grant an outstanding candidate.

Emmett's post on WD books, including one by Cecil Andrus, should remind us that Idaho was not always so red. Cecil Andrus (D) and Phil Evans (D) were Governors through most of the 1970s and 1980s. Even as late as 1990 Cecil Andrus was able to be elected governor. Richard Stallings (D) was able to win the 2nd district and hold onto it from 1984 to 1992. Larry Larocco (D) held the 1st district from 1990 to 1994.
