A few silver linings of the 2014 elections - Some interesting ranking members

Sherrod Brown - Ranking member Banking Committee (which will include Liz Warren)

Bernie Sanders - Ranking member Budget Committee [ Patty Murray moves to chairing HELP]

Liz Warren will also be a member of the Energy Committee.

I certainly would prefer that we have the Senate and the House, but there are a few people moving up that promise to be interesting.

It is amazing to see how few of the ranking members from a decade ago are still there.
