UGH.. looks like the GOP will take the majority in the House. Not in the US Senate, however. Hummm... does look a bit like what Clinton had to9 deal with in the 90's and he won re-election.

Also, the Senate has to pass legislation passed by the house and Obama has veto power. Unless the GOP were to take both Houses, they really are not gaining in terms of real legislative power.

Then, again.... will it just be continued deadlock with everything in Congress? I want Congress to work! Sure, I want what I believe in, but that isn't the point- we have such a broken legislative process right now when the US is in such a mess! Frankly, some real bi-partisanship wouldn't bother me at all.
