GOP officials: Defeat Richard Morgan (Some say leader has betrayed his own party)

RALEIGH
Republican Party officials say they will cast aside a tradition of not picking favorites in primaries and use their influence to try to beat state Rep. Richard Morgan, R-Moore.
Morgan is a target of the party leadership because he has participated in power sharing with Democrats in the N.C. House.
Many GOP members have criticized Morgan for striking deals that made him co-speaker in 2003 and speaker pro tempore in 2005.
Over the weekend, the state Republican Party's executive committee approved a resolution urging voters in Morgan's district to pick someone other than Morgan in next May's primary. The resolution also gives state GOP chairman Ferrell Blount the authority to lend "aid and support" to Morgan's primary opponents.
