Decision 2010: Post-Election Analysis
Voters expressed their anger towards President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party at the polls this week, electing a new Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.  In Florida, Republicans already held control of the legislature, but their wins will gain them a supermajority and an all-Republican cabinet, topped off by the gubernatorial win of political outsider Rick Scott.  We gathered a panel to analyze Tuesday's election results.
