GOP Redistricters Blame Dems

Idaho's citizens' redistricting commission is on hiatus this week — but in politics, there are no vacations. Today, it was the Republicans' turn to lobby charges at their three Democratic counterparts, accusing them of derailing the remapping by injecting "raw partisanship" into the process.

Question: Who do you blame for lack of concensus for the current redistricting attempt -- Republicans, Democrats, the process?
