Larry LaRocco tries to win Larry Craig's seat

Larry LaRooco is a true Grassroot allstar. Check out this article from The Idaho Statesmen.

LaRocco, 62, has spent a day each at 35 jobs throughout the state. He's collected trash in Orofino, herded sheep in Bellevue and dressed up as Humphrey the Hawk at a Boise Hawks game. He's waited tables, staffed a credit-union teller window and done a little plumbing.

...

In addition to full-day jobs, LaRocco seizes other opportunities to meet Idahoans at home and on the job. Last week he spent a few hours delivering Meals on Wheels, handing out turkey dinners and shaking hands.

"In my opinion," said Meals on Wheels worker Olga Gonazales, "it would be nice to have more candidates and officials riding with us and getting close to the real people."

...

Between LaRocco's all-out campaign style, an ailing economy and growing national dissatisfaction with the Republican administration, Idaho Democratic leaders say this may be their party's best chance in decades to win a statewide seat in solidly Republican Idaho.

We all know that Idaho needs a Change. And Larry Larocco is that Change in Idaho.
