Once you extend your hand, it's up to the other side whether they take it or walk away. Then let's hope that second debate wasn't an omen. Even with 61 Dems in the Senate (I'm not sure how far Lieberman can/will be trusted to vote with them), my thought is that Obama would rather seek bipartisan support. But would Reid want and allow this - I presume he will stay as Senate majority leader? Or will Obama have any say in tactics, but surely not to the point of over-riding his Senators (not on actual politics but on the manoeuvering)? I agree it would be sensible and sound longer-term thinking, but I can't necessarily credit the Democrat Senate leadership with this attribute...
