DescriptionSOUTHERN PINES, N.C. - This picture-perfect country town of quaint storefronts and golf courses has become the site of a nasty political battle that has torn North Carolina's Republican Party in two.

Richard Morgan, co-speaker of the House and the highest-ranking Republican in state government, has become the No. 1 target of the conservative wing of his own party and faces a tough primary challenge Tuesday.

Opponents accuse him and a handful of allies of selling out to broker a power-sharing agreement with Democrats that made him co-Speaker of the House. Detractors say he has since been behaving like a Democrat, especially on issues such as taxes.
