ID-LG: 25,000 Handshakes, 25,000 Stories

In July, I wrote:

(In Idaho) we find our Lt. Governor candidate, former Congressman Larry LaRocco, is within striking distance of his opponent. New polling of his GOP foe, who is currently serving as acting Governor, has less than half of voters (46%) rating his job performance positively and a mere 36% of voters committed to re-electing him. So we could likely see yet another state-wide pick-up.

Just last week, DailyKos Front-pager McJoan wrote:

A month ago, the world of political junkies was slightly rocked by the news that the GOP is worried about one of their House seats in, to quote Markos, "freakin' Idaho?" The Hill reported that the GOP "Retain Our Majority" effort was sinking a lot of money into what is supposed to be one of their safest seats.

Well all of that is still true - Idaho has the GOP worried. LaRocco's campaign is well underway and picking up steam every day. After serving two terms in the United States Congress, Larry LaRocco is working to serve the state of Idaho once again. In his quest to win the right to serve as Idaho's next Lt. Governor, LaRocco has launched his campaign to meet with 25,000 people, shake 25,000 hands and listen to 25,000 different stories.

Armed with individually numbered cards, LaRocco has criss-crossed the state, documenting stories as he goes.

Check out the videos from the launch of his state-wide tour.

It's interesting that the Governors office wants to hide from a properly televised debate. They have taken that office from a state of integrity and pride to one of power and mean spirited bullying. It's time the people took a good look at who we have in the office as well as his cabinet.
