Re: bipartisanship
Bipartisanship means compromise and acheiving consensus.
It does not mean giving up your principles (to get along), though Bush and Republicans have been doing a good job of that (to get votes).
Of course, true bipartisanship means that when it comes around to election time, the candidate says "My party voted to -insert topic of choice here-. Oh wait, my opponent's party did too".
Cheers,
Tony
