Having said all that, if I were Obama, I'd publicly continue to talk about bipartisanship and then non-publicly focus on getting my agenda passed and bipartisanship be damned. That's the only strategy that will work and keep his Dem constituency happy. Otherwise, the Dems lose power. It's pretty much that simple. Apparently the Dems think the same thing. I think Clinton had a better idea, so here's hoping the Democrats damage themselves permanently, then the Republicans can split between conservatives and corporate blue bloods.

That is exactly what I have been trying to articulate, but Steyn has said it much more succinctly. Thx for posting that. This is a political argument that trivializes the socio economic needs of health care reform. I am surprised that you would fall prey to such demagoguery. Al

"<< Looks like what Dodd did to Coker re the Financial Regs... Good for Dodd!...play the repug game... Coker says the WH health Care emphasis caused the Dodd move even though Coker says he was "immensely impressed with Dodd and his staff on this issue and they had a lot of laughs"...yes, he actually said the "laughs" bit. My reaction...Coker was just playing the Grassley game and Dodd blew by him. Yea!
