Idaho Blogosophere: Off The Rails

If you're reading this you probably already know that LaRocco has hosted several live-blogging sessions, has an online fund-raising page through ActBlue and hired Idaho's premier blogger, Julie Fanselow of Red State Rebels, to his campaign staff. LaRocco has embraced a variety of online communities in his quest to engage voters. Contrast that with the stodginess of Risch; just three years LaRocco's senior, but you can almost smell the Old Spice and stogies as he dismisses blogs as just "people's personal opinions." This is typical arrogance from the "old guard" Idaho Republicans, dismissive of anything that doesn't fit their nostalgic vision of Idaho politics. These guys will wake up someday as obsolete as a carton of 8-tracks, wondering what happened/Mountain Goat Report. Full post here.
