I'm talking moderate Republicans here along the lines of a Dick Lugar.

Would you feel he was selling out or appeasing or what not?

I realize this sounds like flame bait to bash Obama, but I support the guy. I do think he wants to do like Lincoln and appoint 'enemies' (so to speak) into his cabinet. I'd win a lot of good will with the American public, and I do not believe all Republicans are sociopathic and evil.

But who cares what I think. How would the fine folks of DU feel about it. Because I'm pretty convinced he will do it if he wins.

He's mentioned his deep respect for Hagel and Lugar in a few big pieces in major publications, etc. I think if the country keeps seeing a 'liberal' only giving roles to 'liberals', there will never be a mandate to get anything done.
