Following the big Republican wave in Tuesday's midterm election, on Wednesday, Today co-host Matt Lauer immediately demanded that the new GOP-controlled Congress capitulate to President Obama: "Republicans have control of the House and Senate for the first time in eight years....In January, voters are gonna say,'What are you going to do with the power?' Opposing the President's policy is not a policy. Specifically, what can Republicans do with this power?"

Lauer directed that question to New Jersey Governor and Republican Governor's Association head Chris Christie. In part, Christie replied: "People want to get things done. That's why Republican governors were elected last night – re-elected and new ones elected, Matt – because governors get things done. That's what the country wants."
