What would happen if a group of moderate Republicans would offer to join President Obama in a meaningful public exchange around the key challenges we face? If people like Colin Powell. Governor Christie, Joe Scarborough and a few others would extend this invitation I believe it would be the beginning of meaningful common ground. I would include Mitt Romney in this consideration ,because even though I did not vote for him, I believe that he cares and loves this country. Someone has to break through the ice, and I believe that the bulk of ordinary citizens are already there.
