Romney is the first pragmatist to get anywhere in Presidential politics since Bill Clinton, although he lacks Clinton's finesse at triangulation and other political skills.

However, both Romney and McCain have walked their post-partisan talk, working successfully with Democrats to get things done.

Romney got big things done with a hugely Democratic legislature as Governor of Massachusetts.

McCain reached across the aisle on immigration, campaign finance "reform", judgeships and lots more.

Clinton can make some claim to post-partisanship from her Senate work, not least her still-unapologized-for vote for the Iraq resolution.

Ironically, the only one who can't is Obama, Mr. Post-partisan himself.

What a world.
