		<description><![CDATA[The dust from the 2010 mid-term elections has barely settled, but one thing is clear - Congress will be drastically different for the 112th session when it is sworn-in in January.  After making huge gains in the 2006 and 2008 elections, Democrats lost in record numbers.  Voter anger about government spending, the state of the economy and job loss led to an anti-incumbent mood that hadn’t been seen in many years leaving Congress’ approval rating regardless of party in the low 20s.  Republicans have made historic gains by picking up at least 63 seats to take control of the House of Representatives.  ]]></description>
