While GOP remains the
minority, retains
filibuster power
Expect GOP soulsearching after failure to
knock down 2006 Dem
Senators
Sens.-elect Joe Donnelly
of IN, Ted Cruz of TX,
and Elizabeth Warren of
MA may be brightest
stars in new Senate

Quick Takeaways
• The Republicans were
expected to, and did, keep
their majority in the House
• Partisan expectations aside,
there are early signs of a
willingness to work across
the aisle…
• Speaker John Boehner (ROh.), said Tuesday's mandate
from voters was to work
together: "Divided we fail;
not just next session but the
next two months."
