Moving on from midterms: Will Congress get nasty?

Midterm results are in. And, looking ahead, lawmaking could get rough for Congress next season.

Will Tea Party energy shake up D.C.?

Could moderate GOP-elects help get business done?

And, how's Pelosi taking it all?

Alaska busy counting the many ways to spell 'Murkowski'

Major election drama still unfolding in Alaska where incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R, could make a historic comeback as a write-in candidate.

News this morning: write-in votes, presumably for Murkowski, currently lead the race, and the date to determine a winner is now Nov. 10, not Nov. 18 as planned.

Anchorage TV anchor Matthew Felling joins John Roberts to talk about the legal battle the state may face in counting and decoding the write-in ballots.
