President Bush speaking at today's press conference:

"The message yesterday was clear: The American people want their leaders in Washington to set aside partisan differences, conduct ourselves in an ethical manner, and work together to address the challenges facing our nation."

Nancy Pelosi, soon to be Speaker of the House, also had encouraging words:

"Democrats are ready to lead. We are prepared to govern," she said Tuesday night. "We will do so working together with the administration and the Republicans in Congress in partnership, not in partisanship."

Let's hope our politicians can get back to working in a bipartisan way to solve many major issues faced by this country that need our full focus.
