The election results pose two enormous strategic choices for America. First, the obvious outcome of a Democratic-controlled Congress and a Republican White House is the need for bipartisan cooperation in order to get anything done.

Or will there be an establishment bipartisanship which cuts deals between liberals and the White House?
