Bi-Partisanship We Hardly Knew Ye!

Doug Schoen has a book to sell:

"..The candidate would also present a general-election platform that would include approaches traditionally within the province of the other party. Imagine having major-party nominees whose platforms committed them to developing a truly bipartisan approach to ending the war in Iraq and fighting Islamist terrorism, to developing a serious energy policy and to reforming Social Security and Medicare. As the linchpin of the deal, the candidate would select a vice president from the other party, or perhaps a nonpartisan military leader.."

Common sense doesn't:

"..one party could be in charge of addressing global warming, and the other could be in charge of denying it exists. One party could be in charge of boosting science education in our schools so that we can compete with the world, and the other could be in charge of taking science education out of our schools so that we can compete with snake handlers. One party could be in charge of formulating a policy for a responsible withdrawal from Iraq, and the other party could be in charge of keeping us there for a hundred years.."

Oh and John McCain's STILL a -- Well you know what he is:
