NBC's political team discovers there really is no bipartisanship

It's like finding out there is no Santa Claus:

Perhaps the biggest fallout from yesterday’s Gregg news is the realization that outside Collins, Snowe, and Specter, Obama isn’t going to receive much support from Republicans, no matter how many of them he tries to appoint to his cabinet, how many times he has them over for drinks at the White House, and how many times he meets with their conference.

This is as much a realization for NBC as it is for Obama.

Perhaps now Chuck Todd can stop asking stupid questions about bipartisanship. One of his first questions as NBC's new White House reporter was whether Obama would veto the stimulus bill if it had no bipartisan support. It was beyond idiotic.
