Some Republicans Try Out a New Campaign Theme: Bipartisanship

[CTyankee]

"WASHINGTON — A woman who appears in an advertisement supporting Representative Jon Runyan, a New Jersey Republican, boasts about how he works “with both parties.”

Richard E. Mourdock of Indiana, whose Senate campaign has been most notable for his derision of legislative compromise as feckless, now says he would “work with anyone.”

While out and about on the campaign trail, Representative Bobby Schilling, Republican of Illinois, talks so much about all the great things he has done with Representative Dave Loebsack, a Democrat from nearby Iowa, that one would think the two were related."

Well, it's about time! I guess these Republicans have figured out that they are in deepest doo-doo over their obstructionism and the voters are sick of it.

I was waiting for this day! And yes, I know this ain't the deepest reddest states but it is a start...

4. These days, when a Republican says that he or she works "with both parties" ...

they mean the Republican party and the Tea Party ...

5. I'm not sure that's what these people are thinking...I wonder if they are just

understanding a new reality in their lives...the voters don't like gridlock in Washington...and that is good news...it means some of them are capitulating in the face of reality...
