Grant came to our Drinking Liberally night in Moscow (The town the Uni of Idaho is in) way back before the primary. He was awesome! Even though we were mostly 20- somethings, he could appeal to us and our issues. He spoke clearly about his issues and wasn't afraid to call himself a democrat. I personally think he has what it takes to take ID-1.
I think so because ID- 1 has two large urban areas that have been trending purple for a while: The Cour- d'Alene area (one of the fastest growing areas of the nation) and the Treasure Valley- the suburban half of our capital, Boise. Not only are these areas trending liberal given their urbanization, their growth has been fueled by large influxes of west coast residents looking for simpler (and cheaper) living. It can't be understated how much Idaho has grown in the last 6 years since the census. I'm looking forward to these races coming up; we just might have a blue Idaho a la Montana.
