Partisan Politics

Article Abstract:

Continued squabbling continues between Congressional Republicans and Democrats despite the promises of party leaders that compromise is possible. The degradation of civility can be traced to the advent of television coverage, in which politicians merely had to look and sound good to be elected. They no longer required the support of their colleagues, which lowered the impetus of compromise.
