Editor's note: Ed Rollins, a senior political contributor for CNN, is senior presidential fellow at the Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency at Hofstra University. He is a principal with the Dilenschneider Group, a global public relations firm. He was White House political director for President Ronald Reagan and chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee.
(CNN) -- The first date is over. Not much happened. President Obama and his new governing partners, the House and Senate Republicans, met at the White House along with the Democratic leaders and discussed the unsolvable issues between them.
Even though they made no decisions and both sides went their separate ways, they agreed to start negotiations on extending the tax cuts. That in itself is the beginning of a positive process. They actually talked to each other and talked of a plan for action.
As with real dating, both sides have to get along or nothing will happen. So maybe this situation has more in common with an arranged marriage.
The American voters are the substitute parents, and they want this marriage to work or at least to be civil. And we, the voters, hold the shotgun.

True enough, but also look who its coming from. For sure, Rollins is no Reagan either. I would say that, philosophically speaking, Palin is more in line with Reagan than is Rollins. Rollins is more comfortable in the Rove/McCain/Romney wing of the party.
I think the point of EyeGuy’s post was that Reagan was an actor in 1957. He later paid his dues over the next 23 years by taking a position of responsibility as governor, doing it well, and helping to build the party and get candidates elected.
1957 is the Bedtime for Bonzo age for Reagan. In today’s terms, that would equate to being a celebrity on a reality show.
I knew the Lloyd Bentson debate riposte. The Lloyd Bentson debate riposte was....oh never mind.
Most conservative? As compared to whom?..................
I’m more inclined to listen to Henry Rollins than Ed Rollins.
You’ve refuted nothing I’ve said. Then again, I don’t expect the Palin cultists to be swayed by the facts.
Reminds of the time FR had Arnold shills. Now they’re nowhere to be found.
Ross Perot had the same uh...charm as Ron Paul.
But what you say is true. I can still hear that giant sucking sound.
Don't be too hard on them, after all they'll have to wait till the construction site guys knock off work to sneak in ;^)
a BabyMama? define.
a feminist? not by leftist definition, no.
having a kid have a baby out of wedlock? I suppose abortion would have been better? or perhaps disowning the sinning child?
You sound like the left on that last one, especially. A leftist has no CLUE about how a Christian treats a sinner, and points out failings as “hypocrisy”.
Not only that, but the whole piece is built on a false premise: that Palin is comparing herself to Reagan. OTHER PEOPLE are comparing her to Reagan. Stupid Rollins ought to be pulling a Rosann Rosannadanna: "Never mind!" The dumb cluck.
Rollins is the kind of guy who attracts readers who make the kinds of idiotic comments you see under the article.
Sheesh, pissant ... you're having to stoop to pretty lousy sources for your anti-Palin material. Just the same, I LOVE YOUR SCREENNAME!
Hard to figger out what else to call folks so removed from reality that they compare this 46 year old with minimal knowledge to the greatest conservative, political mind of last century.
As you post from the kiddie pool...
Your problem with Palin seems to be that she has a vagina instead of a penis.
She could have aborted her son and she made the choice of life. So your insult is low and vile.
And she is not responsible for the choices her adult daugter makes. Your type of thinking is dying. over.. finished. time has passed you by in this area.
Good thing California & later America didn’t listen to all the critics who called Reagan names & said he was unfit to lead.
It was a fun ride for Christine O'Donnell as well.... until about 9:15 pm on November 2.
You’re in for a surprise.
LOL
I can’t believe how many so called conservatives fall for the lies of the left and then repeat them as gospel. Some must have a hard time thinking independently.
Palin’s resignation was a selfless act of courage.
Only her political opponents or mind numbed sheep bleating the dishonest media narrative believe otherwise, as the truth is there for any rational person to see.
Really, pissant, you are lecturing the rest of the world about reality when you think Duncan Hunter is still a viable presidential candidate?
BWAHAHAHA! Pissant, you need to switch to meds with fewer side effects.
