From Daschle's MSNBC interview yesterday:

Gangel: In the end, your colleagues came up, hugged [and] shook hands. Were there any words of advice or condolence that day that stuck with you?

Daschle: I think what mattered the most was to hear a colleague of yours say, “I love you.” You know, it's not something you hear from a colleague all that often. But it melts you.
