Tonight on the program, we examine the turn of attention from the presidential election to the looming fiscal cliff, and how President Obama and the GOP look to find a solution before year's end. Also: How the GOP must adapt post-election, overly-long lines on Election Day, pediatricians getting kids to read for their health, and the transition to new party leaders in China.
