Dem Frontrunner Pledges Bipartisan Cabinet (w/poll)

Can the netroots support a Democrat who definitely plans to appoint Republicans -- that's RepublicanS, plural -- to the Cabinet?

If there's a pre-selected list of such GOP appointees, do we need to know who's on it?

What does it tell us about the would-be standardbearer's philosophy of government? What more should we ask?

Seemingly unnoticed in a monster news week, Barrington (NH) resident Daniel LaBossiere found one of our leading candidates on the stump, and posed what he may have thought was a candidate-stumper: What do you value about conservative philosophy?

LaBossiere was surprised -- and favorably impressed -- by an answer that, as the candidate acknowledged:

ran the risk of alienating voters by saying the cabinet list "I've already made" includes members of the other party.

LaBossiere had praise for "the courage enough to answer it, which is difficult enough ... I've never heard any other politician make that statement."

What do you think?
