"So many Democratic managers had a good election night, but special kudos go to Boxer campaign manager Rose Kapolczynski. Boxer has never been popular, and pulling off a stunning victory against a well-financed candidate like Fiorina required the tough-as-nails discipline Kapolczynski demonstrated." -- Election 2010: Winners and Losers, Capitol Weekly

What a difference a few months makes. House Speaker John Boehner has made enacting new restrictions on choice one of his top priorities.
