Give former President George H. W. Bush some credit for trying to return balance to politics. He has invited Democratic presidential contenders to speak at his library at Texas a&m University.

A spokesman for the library said the elder Bush wants to give Democratic candidates a chance to explain their views in his effort to "breach the divide" between the parties, and he's disappointed that none have taken him up on the offer.
