Bush should govern from the center?

At today's press conference, Bush was asked if he planned on naming any Democrats to his second-term Cabinet. He was also asked how he planned on reaching out to Democrats.

Huh? Who says he has to?

To recap:

1. Bush just won the presidency by 3% of the popular vote and 3.5 million votes nationwide.

2. With all due respect to John Thune (who ran a stellar and positive campaign), Bush is almost single-handedly responsible for retiring Tom Daschle, sending the unambiguous message that there are consequences to being an obstructionist.

3. With the exception of Pete Coors in Colorado, every state that Bush campaigned in to help Senate Republican candidates, those candidates won. They picked up four extra Senate seats, making it 55-45 GOP. Think hard about filibustering now, Dems!

4. Bush won Florida soundly this time, despite predictions that the 2000 debacle would do him in.

5. Bush won every state in between the left coast and the liberal northeast (excluding MI, MN, and WI), i.e. the Heartland of America. That's 32 states, folks. Plus, he picked up two "blue" states: NM and IA.

So tell me again, you clueless Washington press corps jackasses who sold your souls to get Bush (unsuccessfully) tossed out: why in the hell does he need to reach out to the monumental losers?
