Oh, I dunno about that, David. Those of us on the Left have enjoyed watching you pilloried by Team Tea Party lo these past seven years. I'm sure you're eager to come in from the cold. That said, I agree that we might start seeing a little soul-searching from both parties now.I take no pride or pleasure in saying “I told you so.” We’ve all been wrong about enough things to teach us humility about our rare bursts of foresight.
It really seems that particular congress/administration/political environment might be the one that finally starts an end to hyper partisanship. The parties in question are doing soul searching. The media is doing soul searching. Special interest groups of all shapes and colors are finding new and open ears all over the place. This time around could finally lead to something new. Or we could double down in stubborn and stupid. That's always an option.That said, I agree that we might start seeing a little soul-searching from both parties now.
