Is "bipartisan" a real word?

Or is more like "unicorn," a real word for a mythological creature?
I ask only because there may be some movement from the left and the right toward the center on the Social Security issue.
It makes me think of Newton's Cradle, those silver balls that hang in a line: If you drop one on the left, as soon as it meets the middle, one on the right takes off. If you drop a ball from each end at the same time, everything is fine until they meet in the middle and shoot off in opposite directions.
Wow. Politics is like junior high science.
