It is impossible that one party will have all the say. There are particular republicans who would like to believe otherwise, but they don't seem to be realists.

Bipartisanship is the way to go. But it wasn't the way it was for the past 6 years. Welcome to the new world order, where both major parties will decide what will happen.

Mark J, you uninformed fool. None of what you said is true!

In order to avoid the same label as the 109th Congress, a do nothing Congress, there will have to be give and take from both sides of the isle. I would like to think both parties will but aside their differences and work for the benefit of the public for a change. Twelve years of partisan politics has wrought damage that will take cooperation to repair. I'm just afraid the republicans will resort to doing what they accused the democrats of and that's being obstructionist. Lets hope not.

I agree that Bipartisanship is the way to go, I hope it happens but will not count on it. The democrats already are proving me right by not allowing the republicans to participate in the first one hundred hours of bills they want to put into effect. They also broke their promise of an immediate withdrawal of our troops from Iraq. Now they just want to cut funding to our military so Bush will send less than 30,000 more troops to Iraq. Sounds to me like a couple of promises they made to the voters have already been broken. Since the majority is only by a few, I think it will boil down to which party is more successful in taking action on important issues this country has. I think this might also decide what party will take office in the '08 Presidential elections. I'm thinking it will be a Republican again.

Realist believe in things that are real, like the power of the veto and the congress inability to override it. That poses as a problem that hopefully bipartisanship can fix. But BOTH sides must work together. That is what is "real"

Ya Gotta Laugh, after 6 years of ignoring the Democrats, all of a sudden the Republicans are for bipartisanship, Thanks for the chuckle! How do you bipartisan the invasion of Iraq. How do you bipartisan appointment of a UN Ambassador, when the Congress is out of town. How do you bipartisan the rape of our constitutional rights. How do you bipartisan with people who want to give to the rich and steal from the poor. What a Laugh.

I agree It both parties would learn to work together and reach a mutual compromise on some of the more difficult issues the government would get a hell of a lot more accomplished for the people it was elected to represent

I don't know why all the Democrats are bragging about how well they did in the elections...... the Senate is tied, with 2 independants, and only have 53% of the vote in the House. This Congress will be shaped by who will give or take more, Republicans or Looney Libs.

A realist would understand that the democrats have no interest in bipartisanship either.

Yes, and there are only two choices: Bipartisanship or Deadlock.

unavoidable is not the word I would choose, more like unobtainable.
