From the NY Times, 11/10/06:
Bush called Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and the Senate's No. 2 Democrat, Dick Durbin, to the Oval Office for about 45 minutes of discussions. Afterward, they pledged to put bitter campaign disputes aside and work together.
Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, appreciatively observed that both Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney had chosen blue ties -- perhaps in honor of the Democratic victory on Tuesday?
"I was hoping you would notice that," said Bush.
