well, what made me think about it was the arrogance of mcconnell's response to obama's victory. that o must compromise with him if he wants to get anywhere in the senate.

okay. take his toy away.

he lost. o won. deal with it.

it's different in the house. but mcconnell has no standing.

"Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell gave no sign that he was willing to concede his conservative principles, signaling potential confrontations ahead.

The voters have not endorsed the failures or excesses of the president's first term, they have simply given him more time to finish the job they asked him to do together with a Congress that restored balance to Washington after two years of one-party control," McConnell said."

"McConnell said that he hoped Obama would ”propose solutions that actually have a chance of passing the Republican-controlled House of Representatives and a closely-divided Senate, step up to the plate on the challenges of the moment, and deliver in a way that he did not in his first four years in office,” perhaps signaling that, despite the “shellacking” of last evening, Senate and House Republicans may not be entirely embracing bipartisan leadership just yet."

Hi Cactus Flower,

Maine's Independent senator-elect, Angus King's main goal is to change the filibuster.

After the obstructionism in congress, and their terrible approval numbers, I expect 'change.'
