Possible Short Termed Sighs of Relief

Joe Biden, Barack Obama and John Edwards (who is he?) are quite pleased that the stoplights have been temporarily taken off their scary backgrounds. Start with Biden who wanted to split Iraq into three countries, said the surge would bring no positive results, etc. and Obama who early on promised to have all troops out of Iraq in the first 100 days of his election. And Edwards, these candidates want people to forget him as soon as possible but it wasn't long ago he was their "golden boy"?
