That its important for both parties to Work Together once the election is over. Its important to have that going on in the country. Anyway, ill be honest, too. Nobody wants a lopsided super bowl. And i dont want a Boring Campaign next time. Not when i fully believe it could be the most exciting in decades. Thats hardball for now. Thanks for being with us. Politics
