Congress approval rating 21%, Congress re-election rating 95%+

I still cannot get accurate results on Congress. 538.com keeps locking my browser for some reason.

But it looks like we are still stuck with a Republican House and a Senate that can and will fillibuster anything that isn't at least center-right.

It's very good that Romney lost, but I am looking at my shadow and predicting two more years of caving.

I don't see much cause for celebrating a hollow victory.

will be the first thing to go. It's a procedural motion that is agreed to at the start of every term, and there may be enough support even among Republicans to remove it.
