Excellent post!  What you never hear in msm in why bipartisanship is so good.  They keep pushing it because they say they need it in order to push legislation, they are believing the press releases that flow out of Congressional communication offices and K-street. 

What is funny about the media is that they really don't understand.  Herman and Chomsky theorized that media owners hire staffs that have similar ideas and have worked their way up through similar channels.  It works its way all the way down to reporters.  That is just how they really think.  I for one welcome a new media system --- which you are doing an excellent job at.

As for Dodd and the rest of the Democratic party.  Big business interest is the history of the Democratic party. Just as Republicans latched on to God and guns to win votes, so have Democrats with blue collar workers.

Thanks for the post!
