Broder Intones On Healthcare

David S. Broder - Getting to Bipartisan Health-Care Reform - washingtonpost.com: "The goal of the Obama White House is to come up with a health-care plan that can attract bipartisan support. The president has told visitors that he would rather have 70 votes in the Senate for a bill that gives him 85 percent of what he wants rather than a 100 percent satisfactory bill that passes 52 to 48..."

Why? This is nuts. I'd rather have a bill that wins by one vote but give me 100% of what I want. The GOP surely never worried about bipartisan anything ("we make our own reality"), so why should the Democrats give a tinker's damn about GOP support? Oh, I forgot, Obama is actually Skippy Bush Re-engineered.
