"Personally, I think the executive branch should not be controlled by a "party". We should have more independents as Mayors, "

We have an independent Mayor here. In some cases, independent translates to "egomaniacal dictator" as here. But I do get your point and I think partisanship for partisanship's sake is very damaging. I'd like to see my party lean left on some things, like gay marriage, but hard right on others like immigration. Although I'm encouraged by the fact that individual states are taking action on immigration, so that's a good thing. I'm not in love with McCain and I'm sure he's not in love with my party. I revile Hillary Clinton. But I can see some good in Obama, although I want to be clear that I won't be voting for him, and if he is elected, well then, my party can't always win, right? Stuck with Pelosi and Reid, I don't think any democratic president will have much success, but that's just my partisanship talking, so call me a hypocrite.
