The Senate is a tossup. Congress is crucially important – plurality in each chamber conveys leadership of every committee – and will determine policy deliberations as well as many appointments in the new administration . 2.08pm GMT HERE IN GREECE, THE EU’S ECONOMIC TSAR PIERRE MOSCOVICI HAS IGNITED A FIERCE ROW WITH YANIS VAROUFAKIS, THE FORMER GREEK FINANCE MINISTER. With his frantic pre-occupation with the media and unbridled narcissism, Varoufakis drew the limelight on himself and for several months cannabilised the discussions.
