this is a good thing. as marlene phillips sez @ huffpo:

i’m all for cooperation between the two parties. in order for our government to function effectively, it’s vital that members of both parties work together. but i’ve also been concerned that the calls for bipartisanship might drown out the loud and clear message sent this past november, that republicans had their chance and now change is required. i was also concerned republicans would continue on as if they still were in control, business as usual. i wasn’t sure speaker of the house nancy pelosi or senate majority leader harry reid would stop them.

i’m not worried anymore.

nor are we.

of course, the hardly-ever-right wing is all full of the vapors @ the idea of the winner being so disrespectful to the losing side.

gee, that’s never happened before, has it?
