"The state Republican Party, meanwhile, is targeting one of its own incumbents, Rep. Jim Colver of Palmer, who party leaders say has been too cooperative with House Democrats."
Yeah, target a politician that is willing to work / compromise w/the other party. Isn't that the no. 1 reason NOTHING gets done anymore? It's okay to take different stances on things, but compromise never used to be a dirty word between both parties (at least not 20 yrs. ago), and believe it or not, is how things get done. This whole "strictly party lines" BS has got to stop! Look at the current state of local / national politics. Frankly, it's quite sad and pathetic and I understand why the majority of our citizens have lost faith in the system.
