Rich
This is really rich coming from any Republican. This is David Gergen discussing the election as opportunity for change in Iraq:
But why would Democrats want to play along with Bush, and be left with the tar of Iraq on their hands? Because sometimes the country faces challenges so important that the best politics in the long run is to be constructive patriots in the short run—to ignore the siren song of partisanship, and look after the nation’s needs.
Of course, I think he's right. But there have been probably seven or eight hundred other times during the last six years when this quote would have applied to the Republicans. I don't remember too many Republicans suggesting it as an option before last night.

So now the previously described "children" of the Democratic party are supposed to be the big people and help out the wise old men of the Republican party.

Like I said. That's rich.
