Malek, Riggs, Amador outraise foes

Luke Malek, R-Coeur d’Alene, far outpacing challenger Art Macomber in fundraising; while challengers Peter Riggs and Paul Amador each have raised more than twice as much as incumbent Reps. Don Cheatham, R-Post Falls, and Kathy Sims, R-Coeur d’Alene/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise. More here .

Question: Will the fund-raising for Malek, Riggs and Amador help them off-set the advantage of Tea Party candidates in closed GOPrimary races?
