Not promising

You can be fairly certain that one lesson that the GOP did not take from yesterday's election in Massachusetts was that working in a bipartisan way to move Obama's domestic agenda forward is a good thing for them, politically.

Republicans showed no new signs of willingness to work with the Democrats. Asked what he would be willing to work on with majority, the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, offered meek praise for Mr. Obama’s strategy in Afghanistan but did not offer a single example on domestic policy.
