Thomas Friedman envisions a grand compromise

Here. In brief, he imagines Republicans, including the Tea Party laying aside their principles and going along with the Democratic program, all in the name of bipartisanship.

Well, at least Mr. Friedman isn't dabbling in The Totalitarian Temptation this time.
