It's better to bend and get half of what you want than to be stubborn and get nothing.
Joe, I think you're WAY off. Repubs are standing their ground on key issues like health care and they appear to be in line with most Americans. Unbending is moderate in my mind. Obama has a 100% liberal adgenda. Most of the country is NOT liberal.
Dem or Repub doesnt really matter, the elections are decided by the Independent vote. Obama excitement has died, there will not be a large minority, student and latino turnout for the next election. His poll numbers have been constantly declining.
