One case of arrogance, I heard about in the democratic party was Ted Kennedy. I heard this second hand, but supposedly, he was congratulating Kerry and the Democrats for the Presidental election win, about 5:30 pm on election day. I believe it was him, but it could have been someone else said, "Mass., had the Super Bowl Champion, Patriots, the World Series Champ, Red Sox, and now the President" A little too arrogant, a little too soon.

I certainly don't think that makes the democratic party arrogant, but I do think it was coming from both sides on election day.
