New Yorker To Challenge Crapo

(U.S. Sen. Mike) Crapo has drawn a Democratic challenger well in advance of Idaho’s May 2010 primary election - but it’s a lawyer from New York who’s never been to Idaho. William Bryk, who’s filed his declaration of candidacy and a campaign finance report with the FEC, says there ought to be a choice. He’s a bankruptcy attorney and upstate New York native who, oddly, won the 2000 GOP primary for vice-president in New Hampshire, writes history columns, and is married to the former theater critic for the New Yorker. Legally, Bryk can run for the Idaho seat - he’d just have to live in Idaho as of the date of the general election. Closest he’s been to Idaho to date? Buffalo, N.Y./ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise.

Question: Do you think a real Idaho Demo will emerge to challenge Mike Crapo? Will Idaho Demos get behind this guy, if one doesn”t?
