This is mostly a feel-good article that provides quotes from all quarters of Congress promising bipartisanship. There's also a little speculation on a role for Emanuel in keeping Democrats in line with Obama and a little information on congressional races still undecided.

Not sure how good this is and it flys against everything I understand about Pelosi and the Republicans especially. Why is it always the Democrats who have to be bi-partisan? This story is really kind of propaganda about what is going to happen in the next congress. A leopard cannot change it's spots and Republicans will never be bi-partisan. They lost and deserved to.

Pelosi has got to be tougher and we don't need anti-Humanist Republicans to pass decent legislation for a change. Let them moan and whine and ignore them. After what Bush and all of those thugs did to America their party doesn't even deserve to last and people are deserting the bums in droves. .
