Because he won.
Plus he's reaching out far more then the GOP ever did. Gates is still in, Gregg's on deck it appears.
Remind me- What was the number of liberals in Bush's inter circle?
Opps! Edit- forgot about LaHood. As other's have pointed out that makes three.
So he won, but hopefully the days of "My way or the highway" are over. I think the GOP is risking forcing that policy back in by refusing to join in with even one vote in the house. They managed to get items added to the bill that really the no Dem would have supported then failed to even provide a token yes vote. I think that type of stuff is likely to lead to shelving any of the items they wanted added. I mean why keep their stuff in if they're not going to support it in the end anyway? Then we can all go back to an all one sided federal government. Which in my opinion didn't go so well over the past 6-8 years.
