Some Indiana voters want more bipartisanship

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Some Indiana voters want more bipartisanship in Washington, no matter who represents them there, and less negative campaigning.

Twenty-year-old Holly Deschepper, an education major at Indiana University-South Bend, says the tone of campaigns this year has been "absolutely awful." She says that instead of focusing on talking about solutions to problems, "everyone is just bashing each other."

Jim Harper, a 59-year-old Indianapolis voter, says the politicians in Washington need to start working more for the greater good instead of on their own agendas.

Kathy Weddle, an unemployed saleswoman from Elkhart County, says there's too much partisanship in politics and party-line votes don't accomplish anything.

Thirty-nine-year-old Leslie Kidwell, a fundraiser for Indiana University, says she doesn't know "where civil discourse has went in this nation but it needs to come back."
