It is a candid conversation between prominent congressional leaders of opposing political interests on finding ways to build bridges, find solutions and govern effectively in a highly partisan environment.

The Polsby series aims to honor the late Berkeley congressional scholar Nelson Polsby by enabling substantive discussion between politically opposed leaders.

Polsby was noted for his ecumenical approach to divisive political issues and his efforts over many decades to expand our understanding of political institutions and to make them work better - The New Republic

Exaaaaaactly! The bipartisanship myth is the crux of whats wrong with 'Obamismo'. That philandering scoundrel John Edwards had the right argument, I think, and its too bad his message has been disappeared.
