Seems LtGov Jim Risch is running a little scared and is apparently hoping to scare voters as well. While skipping Idaho's U.S. Senate candidate debate held last night as part of the thirty-years-running, prestigious "Idaho Debates" (featuring all four of the other candidates: Democrat Larry LaRocco, Independent Rex Rammell, Libertarian Kent Marmon and Independent Pro-Life), the Republican Risch...
