“Can’t we all get along?”

Just as I pronounce Democrats stuck in a ‘60s time-warp, along comes Mort Kondracke to make the same point as he pleads for the “beyond partisanship” politics the people are demanding, and that Schwartzenegger and especially Obama are (thankfully) offering:

Obama had it exactly right in announcing his presidential exploratory committee last week. “America has faced big problems before,” he said. “But today, our leaders in Washington seem incapable of working together in a practical, common-sense way. . .Obama represents a new generational sensibility — a pragmatic post-boomer attitude trying to bypass the ideological hang-ups of boomer veterans of the Vietnam and cultural struggles of the 1960s [emphasis added]. . .[T]he new politics is coming because the public wants it. It will just take courage and vision to give it life.
