Getting it Done.

Of course, Republicans have their own brand of pragmatic-minded governors with crossover appeal, among them Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, both of whom may run for president as well. "The key seems to be effective governing and problem solving instead of party," said Mr. Huckabee. (NYT article.)

Yeah, because I like to put people in office who ride into office on crap innuendo and pay them to do nothing except spout propaganda and be a puppet demagogue.

I won't go on about Huckabee now. But why is pragmatism so scorned by politicians? I really think that is what America needs -- leadership, down middle of the road. To fix this divide, and to fix the problems in this country. Somebody please turn off the microphones of the extremists, on both sides. Mr. Bush, I'd even think of looking to you, if I had any indication that your judgement was sound, and open to new ideas. Unfortunately, he still seems to inhabit (scroll down towards bottom) an entirely mystical, fanciful world, as he has for some time now (article from over a year ago.)
