I think Kerry may get it now...his concession showed class, and the Senate is 55 to 44 (+1), if the Pubbies and President can get 5 or 6 to step acreoss the aisle, then the logjam will be broken.
Perhaps offering a cabinet job to a Dem Senator in a state with a Republican Governor?
I don't know if that would be a good idea or not at this point. I think that liberals need to learn some hard lessons before we become coniliatory with them. And I have to admit that I'm not a good person to ask because I don't know that liberals can ever be trusted to do the right thing in positions of power.
