*2010 ELECTION ANALYSIS*
------------------------------


A Republican resurgence delivered defeats to House and Senate Democrats, as
the party picked up at least 60 seats in the House and 6 in the Senate. The
tide swept aside dozens of lawmakers, regardless of their seniority or their
voting records, upending the balance of power for the second half of Mr.
Obama’s term. The departure of both freshmen and long-tenured members of
Congress will result in new Congressional leadership, new composition of
House and Senate committees, and correspondingly new legislative priorities.


Three House Democratic Chairmen and a host of Democratic rank-and-file
members were swept up in the Republican wave on Tuesday. But in the end, the
moderate Blue Dog Democrats bore the brunt of the pain in this election. Of
the 54 Blue Dogs in the House, only 24 won reelection. Half of the
Democratic losses were Blue Dogs. Because of this, the Democratic
conference, much smaller than in the 111th, is expected to be more liberal
than its predecessor. In addition, new members in both parties may see an
increase in power, as the 112th Congress will have 93 new House Members and
16 new Senators.

Conventional wisdom states the 112th Congress is one that will likely, given
the ideological divide between the House and the Senate, result in
legislative gridlock. With the GOP in control of the House and the Democrats
holding onto a narrow majority in the Senate, it is not likely that this
legislative session will be as productive as its predecessor. The tone will
be set immediately during the lame duck session as both parties look to come
to some agreement on an extension of the Bush tax cuts.

1. *Wave Elections*

This election saw one party not only gain significantly more power, but also
shifting coalitions, the signature of which is usually that the rising party
performs particularly well in certain geographic regions or among
