George E. Sorolsky argues that Roosevelt's cabinet choices during World War II do not prove a bipartisan administration. He notes Republicans Stimson and Knox joined the cabinet independently, without formal party sanction, and that party leaders and national committee played no role in those appointments. He warns that true bipartisanship would require formal arrangements with the Republican party and representation by its officials.
