DescriptionThe National Republican Congressional Committee has spent more than $100,000 to boost Idaho Republican Bill Sali's bid for Congress and attack Democrat Larry Grant, and it's poised to spend much more.

Don Rosebrock, campaign spokesman for Grant, said his campaign heard that the NRCC is spending more than $375,000 to run a TV ad against Grant throughout the district that could debut any day. "We got the word from our media buyer that it's $377,000, and there's one station in Spokane that they hadn't (yet) done the buy for," he said. "I don't think the TV ad is probably going to be warm and fuzzy. … I think it's going to be a smear campaign, because that's what they do."

An advertising representative for television station KHQ in Spokane, which serves much of North Idaho, told the Associated Press that the NRCC had paid $37,350 on Monday to run the advertisement today through Monday.
