The GOP will take over the majority, having gained 60 seats now held by Democrats, on the strength of voter frustration over the economy and government spending, and with the aid of the tea party activists.
At least 35 of these new lawmakers bring no experience in elective office to Capitol Hill, the largest number of true rookies in decades.
