"...these zealots..."

More ignorance about politics. Seems to be a cornucopia of it.

Obviously Obama won't get the support of all Republicans.   But he doesn't need that.   Just a few--like Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, and a few others.   Just to put together a package which cannot successfully be filibustered.

Showing some interest in some people in the other party is big progress. Compare GWB's approach of preaching to the converted--stuff everybody else.

Good thing the originator of the thread has close to zero clout.
