UNITY 08: For Something

The netroots are the most dismissive of David Broder's latest column pushing a Unity '08 ticket (this time pairing Mike Bloomberg and Chuck Hagel. Daily Kos' Kagro X blogs: "If you think David Broder has his finger on the pulse of American politics today, then you're just not even living on the same planet as me. Bloomberg-Hagel? Are you kidding me?"

Talking Points Memo's Steve Benen adds: "The column reads like a daydream of a writer who believes a liberal independent and a very conservative Republican will join forces, solve all of our problems, and "get something done." Get what done? It doesn't matter; it'll be something."
