    ...and they have to work with Obamba would this be non partisan politics? As in that both the republicans and democrats have to negotiate to get laws passed?

    After all the votes are counted, the Republicans will win the House, but not the Senate, so they will have to give up their Party of No strategy and begin to negotiate with the Dems in the Senate to get bills on Obama's desk.

    Ha ha, no the Dems want control just like the Republicans, but the US Congress historically seems to work slightly better when neither party controls both houses, and must negotiate to get a bill on the president's desk.
