The expression has been around for a very long time. Basically, it means that people with totally different opinions frequently have to work together in order to accomplish the goals of the elected body.

I'm guessing here...it probably comes from the days before women's lib, when women had to sleep with the boss to advance in her position. A "favor" for a "favor." Today, when politicans need a law passed, they have to promise the opposition something in return, therefore making them "strange bedfellows."
