Crapo Refuses To Debate Primary Foe
The news that Sen. Mike Crapo has declined to meet his GOP opponent in a statewide 
televised debate May 16 has prompted a gambit from Crapo's likely Democratic opponent in November. Tom Sullivan says he'll be glad to debate Republican Claude "Skip" Davis. "I can certainly understand why incumbent Mike Crapo doesn't want to come back to Idaho and have an honest discussion about the issues facing Idaho right now," Sullivan said in a news release Thursday. "If I'd botched the economy the way he has, I wouldn't be anxious to face the voters either. But I'll tell you right now, I'm here and I'm ready and if Skip wants to talk let's do it"/Dan Popkey, Idaho Statesman. More here. (AP File Photo/Susan Walsh: Sen.

Question: I like U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo and believe he's doing a decent job representing Idaho. But I won't vote for him unless he cowboy's up and meets Claude 'Skip' Davis in the televised debate. I'm so dang tired of Republican incumbents acting like entitled royalty by sidestepping these debates. I refuse to vote for anyone who does. How about you?
