I can see it being a good idea when you are giving bipartisanship an honest try. But I hope Obama's numbers start to tank if he keeps choosing to answer softball questions like "will legalizing marijuana help the economy" rather than "should we reform the war on drugs and the prison system".
Thanks Sasaki, that was a good read. I voted against Webb, reluctantly, based on party loyalty the last time. If he continues in this vein, I doubt they'll field a GOPer who I would vote for in preference.
