Winners
- John Boehner The Ohio Republican hopes for House speaker, instead of Nancy Pelosi - and has vowed to make Obama change course
- The Tea Party The conservative anti-tax movement whose candidates won House and Senate seats and the South Carolina governorship
- Marco Rubio The Republican and Tea Party favourite
- Harry Reid The veteran Democrat and Senate majority
Losers
- Former eBay boss Meg Whitman
- ex-Hewlett-Packard chief Carly Fiorina from California
- former wrestling executive Linda McMahon from Connecticut
- Dope smokers The California referendum on legalising marijuana was rejected
- Democrat stalwarts like Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, and Representatives Rick Boucher and Chet Edwards
