Breaking! Risch Declares Senate Candidacy

Full story here

Former Idaho Gov. Jim Risch launched his campaign for Larry Craig’s U.S. Senate seat today, even as Craig continues to fight for his political life in Washington, D.C. Idaho Republicans closed ranks around Risch, with state party Chairman Kirk Sullivan and all but one of the GOP statewide elected officials joining Risch for his announcement and endorsing his run – even though the primary election still is seven months away. “It was the right thing do to – we have got to elect a Republican senator next year,” Sullivan said. “We are going to have to fight very hard”/ Betsy Russell , Spokesman-Review.

Question (for Repubs): Will you support Risch or another candidate, like AG Lawrence Wasden?
