Politics should not define our lives, and consequently, it's not healthy to look to politics for your soulmates. Think of it as finding a team of people at work who can accomplish practical goals together. Somebody hurt your feelings? You don't agree with the guy about gay marriage? Whatever. Unless it's an extreme case, just get over it, and get on with the job at hand.
If you think of it this way, why wouldn't you go out of your way to try to find areas of commonality and pursue them in the public square, rather than emphasize differences? There's a simple term for a coalition built in this way - a majority.
He's right, of course.
I just wonder if Obama would have won if people had followed that advice.

that's not even a good question because of course he wouldn't have won. The liberal illuminati make Obama out to be a hero and everybody jumped in bed with him. this kind of connection and person appeal is what won the presidency for Obama.
