I don't happen to subscribe to the notion that everybody who criticizes Tom Daschle is criticizing Tim Johnson. I think that's a bit of a stretch.

Absolutely. I think that this is - politics is a tough business. I describe it as a full contact sport. You have to be prepared to get in there and mix it up.

I think that if Republicans are given the reins of leadership in the House or Senate or both, we will have to govern in a way - at least put forward solutions whether or not the president goes along with them or not, that deal with these long-term challenges.

I think we got a little complacent. We started getting banged around a little bit down the stretch, got a little frustrated and started letting it get to us.

Believe me, everyone is breathing a huge sigh of relief, ... I think we'll find a way to celebrate. Eating and sleeping will be a good start.
