The following was sent to state Senate candidate James Stivers by Benewah County GOP Chairman Philip M. Sergent: "Due to recent information being presented to the Republican Party of Benewah County about your book on the virtues of polygamy and your writings on the white race. The central committee has unanimously voted to disassociate the party from you and request your resignation of your committee seat, plus withdrawing your candidacy for Idaho State senate." St. Maries Gazette Record report here.

Question: Do you think the Benewah County GOP is genuinely concerned re: candidate Stivers' views on race and polygamy? Or is it trying to help incumbent Joyce Broadsword in her GOP primary contest?
