Hope for the next administration

One of the bloggers at Peach Pundit wrote an interesting entry about the need to cast aside party allegiances and at least hope we don't fall flat on our faces during the next four years.
Political differences aside, if nothing else I think we all need to be thinking about how we're going to get through these hard times intact, and not about what color tie our leaders are wearing and what ideology they look to for solutions to our problems.
We spent six years with one of the two dominant political ideologies, I think we can afford two or four years with the other before deciding that maybe there are more than two ways for proceeding into the future.
