Item: Popkey: Idaho congressional delegation revives dormant bipartisanship/Idaho Statesman

More Info: For the first time since Republican Jim McClure left the Senate in 1991, Idaho has a congressional delegation determined to work together, regardless of party. Bipartisanship was dormant during the 18 years GOP Sen. Larry Craig dominated Idaho's team in Washington. Craig put party ahead of Idaho's broader interest, sabotaging Democratic Reps. Richard Stallings and Larry LaRocco. After LaRocco lost in 1994, Democrats were too weak to elect anybody. But Craig's retirement and November's election of Democratic Rep. Walt Minnick have revived the put-Idaho-first ethic that spanned the 34 years bridged by McClure, Republican Sen. Len Jordan and Democratic Sen. Frank Church.

Question: Are you glad to see the Idaho delegation move toward bipartisanship or would you prefer that the four congressmen show more of their partisan colors?
