(I believe for both local and national races) before leaving AZ. Her stance worked in AZ where the Republicans had an stranglehold on everything due to circumstances I won't get into here. Her Republican opponent for the house was a NASTY extremist of the worst kind.

If this "partisanship no matter what" is what is driving her, she learning the wrong lesson when she was a radical lefty. Instead of learning "compromise where you have to in order to get half a loaf rather than nothing," she learned "give up on bread in favor of compromise."
