Democrats are as tired of the partisan divide as anyone, and working to build consensus will have a lot of pull among Democrats.

I believe that this is largely true, if for no other reason than the real lack of serious progress since the Democrats took over Congress.  If I may speak for all Blue-Partisans, there is a lot of support for advancing the agenda and  getting things done for once.  Somehow, that hasn't happened.  Pinning the blame on the divisions of the nation is as reasonable as anything.

My hunch is that they played this with focus groups comprised of Democrats, not Independents, and it went over very well.
