Will This Country Ever Be Unified?

IMO; Unification can only be achieved when WE can weed out those in congress and the senate; that inhibit unification by their lack of participation in the process, as it was intended; or they have their own agenda; which usually reflects in a poor record of performance and apathy

toward their constituency.

"Do you think real change can come about and the two factions learn to compromise and agree?"

On Capitol Hill, yes they can. It happens quite often. Among the voters, no, it is far less likely.

"Do you think these two differing political ideologies will lead to even greater problems in the future?"

Yes, it will get worse.

Consider that Obama is the MOST liberal of all and McCain is the 143 most conservative. Who is reaching across the line? If any chance of partisanship available McCain will bring it as opposed to Obamas stalemate ideology. It is not conservative vs liberal that is in question; it is capitalism vs socialism. As we all should recognize by now.

Never. The country is moving in extreme opposite directions.

Yes, under a Obama presidency!

Only in Utopia. Everyone would have to be in agreement with everyone else about everything. Only in Utopia

no...I dont see it
