Huckleberries Hears …

... That all three incumbents of the Legislative District 1 will face challengers in the state GOP primaries this spring. Dr. Lorna Finman is sponsoring a reception for two of them from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. Saturday in the Grove Hotel Hospitality Room in Boise. The two are Pam Stout, leader of the North Idaho Tea Party movement and the Bonner County Property Rights Council, who will be running against state Rep. George Eskridge, and Danielle Ahrens, who will challenge long-time state Sen. Shawn Keough. Also, Donna Capruso already has circulated an email announcing her intention to run against state Rep. Eric Anderson, R-Priest River. You can see Finman's flyer for Saturday's event here. (SR file photo: Pam Stout is shown during a tea party rally in 2009)

Question: Are Keough, Eskridge, and Anderson vulnerable from a challenge from the Far Right?
