Governor Schwarzenegger makes a lot of sense

Great interview: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=6264603

All of the post-election attention being focused on the Republican party, and where are they going to go from here, strikes me as a major waste of time and a symptom of a profound lack of imagination on behalf of those engaged. The conversation assumes that the way things were is a stasis worth returning to.

To believe that is ludicrous. I think we have the possibility to enter a new age where we can practice a degree of bi-partisanship- perhaps even post-partisanship- unlike anything we've seen in our lifetime.

This is not to say that we won't have differences, but our president-elect seems to genuinely be thinking this way. I think we owe it to ourselves to stop being confounded by this and start imagining what a world might look like in which maybe we don't reflexively re-polarize ourselves so quickly.
