Election leaves GOP split after midterm vote
Obama acknowledges voter discontent while Democrats and Republicans argue over health care taxes and energy. Senate leader McConnell warns of more losses in 2012 if GOP ideas are not embraced. Both sides see potential compromises on energy and business tax breaks, but big programs like Social Security Medicare and defense loom over talks. Obama defends the health care law and cites gains for individuals while signaling possible tax-cut extensions for the wealthy.
