And I believe Members really thought it was important to show that they got the message of 'change' from the election. They sure must not have liked the alternatives.

Given that the cast of characters looks completely the same, it's going to be all the more important that there are substantive changes. The GOP positions on earmarks, spending levels, congressional reform, health care, immigration, and other issues had better be well thought out and popular with the base.

Back to the top.
