In this Jan. 4, 2013, photo, House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, walks to a strategy session with GOP members, on Capitol Hill in Washington at the start of the first full day of business for the new 113th Congress. Republicans in Congress who took the politically risky step of voting this week to raise taxes now find themselves trying to fend off potential primary challenges next year from angry conservatives. These lawmakers wasted little time in attempting to deliver an explanation that would be acceptable to the tea party and the GOP's right flank, and, perhaps, insulate themselves from a re-election battle against a fellow Republican. They've started defending the vote as one that preserves tax cuts for most Americans, while promising to fight for spending cuts in upcoming legislative debates over raising the nation's borrowing limit.

In this Dec. 19, 2012 photo, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad works in his office at the Statehouse in Des Moines, Iowa. Iowa is one of only three states where control of the legislature is split between the parties. Instead of laying out bold initiatives for overhauling taxes or education, Branstad and legislative leaders are trying to figure out a few things they can agree on so that when the session is over, they won't wind up with nothing.

In this Sept. 12, 2012, file photo, Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney makes comments on the killing of U.S. embassy officials in Benghazi, Libya, while speaking in Jacksonville, Fla. With protests at U.S. embassies and four Americans dead, Romney is suddenly facing a presidential election focused on a foreign policy crisis he gambled wouldn't happen. But it did happen _ and at a bad time. Momentum in the race is on President Barack Obama's side and Republicans are fretting over the state of their nominee's campaign. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)
