Pretty good article on CNN... here's an excerpt:
"The new Democrats, say analysts, are likely to force the party to shift more toward center, or else butt heads with more liberal congressional leaders."
"The House newbies are joined by a like-minded class in the Senate, including abortion opponent Bob Casey of Pennsylvania and guns rights advocate Jon Tester of Montana."

This is going to be interesting to watch how it plays out... anything that brings the far right and the far left back towards the center is a good thing. The damn extremists on both sides are ruining this country.
