It looks like McCain will be less divisive than most of the last 6 or 8 presidents, but it seems odd why some prove divisive and others not. Nobody was more partisan then Jimmy Carter yet the public image is "nice guy". Both "nice guy" and "bipartisan" fit Gerald Ford, but he took as much criticism as the rest. Dumped after one term. Our polarized party system simply means that the "other guy" must be destroyed. As my daddy said: "you wouldn't like it if'n it was good!".
