Democrat Tom Daschle says he's loved his years in the US Senate and says the work there during his 26-year career was worth doing.
While there have been challenges, Daschle says, "I'm grateful for every moment."
Daschle made his comments in an emotion-filled farewell speech today on the floor of the US Senate. He lost the November second election to Republican John Thune.
Daschle was the leader of the Senate Democrats for ten years. He says one of his hopes as he leaves is that Democrats and Republicans will never give up in the search for common ground.

Without the chief obstructionist, maybe REpublicans and Dimocrats will have an OPPORTUNITY to find common ground.

Just goes to show, that no one Citizen of America is that important when the voters speak. Daschle forgot who brought him to Washington!
