Well, yeah…

"...perhaps we are being too literal in believing that "hope" and bipartisanship are things that Obama naively believes are present and possible, when in fact they are a tactic, a method of subverting and breaking the unified conservative power structure."

And perhaps he naively believes those things are present and possible.

It's an important point, and should Obama become our nominee, I'm hoping Mark Schmitt's best case is itself present. It's possible.
