Labrador, Piotrowski clash in TV debate

In a testy debate Monday night, Idaho GOP Rep. Raul Labrador clashed repeatedly with his Democratic challenger, James Piotrowski, over everything from public lands to congressional gridlock.

“I think we need to remember that gridlock is a part of Congress,” Labrador said, after Piotrowski criticized him for being “part of that obstruction” and one who “revels” in it. “It’s not like the last six years is the first time that we’ve had gridlock in Washington, D.C.,” Labrador said. “In fact, gridlock has always existed in Washington, D.C. Our founding fathers wanted there to be gridlock. That’s why we have three branches of government”/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise. More here.
