The future, maybe not so much. The current reality across the political board seems more accurate.

Hmm. Hasn't been my experience, but that doesn't mean anything, either; I can't say that I ever really looked for it. The examples you sourced a post or two ago were good examples - I knew the stories, but never really gave a thought about affiliation.

I'll admit - right now, the situation in Congress and across the political board in this country has given me a very low opinion of our alleged "leaders" of all stripes. Both sides are no better than petulant children sulking because nobody wants to play the game their way.
