I always thought he was a Republican, but his name has come up in certain circles...

"Divide and conquer" sums up those motives, a maxim from ancient times, Roman I think. Consensus, integrity and strengthened electoral competition through liberalized ballot access and term limits would dramatically change the political landscape in the US. As opined elsewhere by me, Obama's election represents a paradigm shift showing movement in that direction. But, alas, more than 85% of Congress will be headed back to DC after the holidays, along with all of the lobbyists.
