but what does it mean?

<![CDATA[ So this was an eventful election week, especially in this country. What I find even more interesting now is the response:

• (obviously) the Rumsfeld resignation

• Bush's pledge to work with Congress
• The Democrats' public intent to jump right in and deal with tax issues

I'm looking forward to next year already, if only to see how this plays out. The hopeful me says we'll have significant and meaningful results from the balance of Congress and the White House. The cynical me says, "Gridlock time!" ]]>
