Get serious Rat. On the account of a recent democratic mid-term victory, you are saying we now have uniters, consensus builders, and across the aisle reachers? This coming from the party whose platform is/has been for 6 years ABB? I'm not saying republicans are reaching out, but at least they really make no qualms over there divisiveness.

I wonder if you will be singing the same tune in two years when Mccain probably gets elected president (judging by all current polls).
McCain has a strong history of bipartisanship. Frankly, if he's the Republican nominee, I'll have a very hard time casting my vote.

You're actually saying exactly what I'm saying, but you're dismissing the obvious conclusion. What America is rejecting is the govern-in-isolation approach that Bush and the congressional Republicans have taken. It's not that the country suddenly went Democrat, not at all. It's that the country is sick and tired of imperialism in its leadership, and has demanded a pluralistic, consensus-based approach. The congressional Democrats are clear about that. Every talking head I've seen who's commented on the midterm result is clear about that. Why aren't you clear about that?
