So he has some interesting decisions to make. There is no mandate with a 50-50 split in the electorate.

The electorate wasn't split 50-50 Obama is currently ahead by over 2.5% of the vote, and increasing as the last votes are counted.

You are certainly seemingly a bit confident in the influence of the current GOP. They've lost more seats in the Senate, Reid will adjust the filibuster so they can no longer obstruct, and they've lost the extremists and seats in the House.

If the Dems governed like the GOP, they could literally walk all over and do virtually whatever they wanted now, by simply picking up 30 reasonable GOP for every House vote needed. That will be easy to do.

They don't even need the GOP in the senate any more.

And your offer of compromise and cooperation is funny, given the complete obstruction and deliberate sabotage of the past 4 years. Boehner is already capitulating to the new reality, Mitch McConnell has doubled down on being stupid. We'll see. The door has always been open, but the Republicans have deliberately refused to cooperate at all for 4 years. If they decide to suddenly do it now, the Dems would welcome them, finally, I'm sure.
