Republicans in Disarray

To those who need proof the elections this week had national implications for Republicans, look no further than Capitol Hill.

The New York Times: "The postponement on a contentious budget-cutting bill was a striking display of the discord and political anxiety running through the Republican Party."

The Washington Post: "House Republican leaders are forced to pull their budget-cutting bill off the House floor amid growing dissension in Republican ranks."

The Wall Street Journal: "Plagued by internal divisions, Republicans stumbled badly on two budget fronts... Republican leaders insisted that the setbacks were temporary. But the level of disarray was striking, and the delays throw a monkey wrench into plans to wrap up this session of Congress."
