I just watched Christopher Shays, who lost his Republican congressional seat in Connecticut (and a good guy, BTW) saying he'd happily be a part of this administration if he's asked. I hope this enthusiasm can continue so we can improve our country. This is truly what it means to be a uniter and not a divider.

Then, in a couple years, the battle to take credit and affix blame can begin again. ; )
