Boren Pushes 'Bipartisan Approach' In Campaign
University of Oklahoma President David Boren (left, with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg) said Sunday he will co-host a meeting next week with other prominent Americans to try and refocus the 2008 presidential campaign on restoring the nation’s standing in the world and end the partisan bickering at home.
Boren emphasized his support for the nation’s two-party system but left the door open to supporting an independent candidate if the current presidential hopefuls fail to embrace a more bipartisan approach.
He said his co-host for the OU event will be Sam Nunn of Georgia, like Boren, a former Democratic U.S. senator.
“Our political system is, at the least, badly bent and many are concluding that it is broken at a time where America must lead boldly at home and abroad,” the two men stated in a Dec. 18 letter to expected participants.
