MALVEAUX: The balance of power in Congress and the president may not have changed in this election, but there were some historic changes. Wisconsin elected the country's first openly gay Senator, Democrat Tammy Baldwin. The seven-term Congresswoman beat former Wisconsin governor, Tommy Thompson, with 51 percent of the vote. Here's what she said about her victory this morning on CNN.</s>BALDWIN: What I would say in terms of crashing through that glass ceiling is, if you aren't in the room, the conversation is about you. If you are in the room, the conversation is with you. And that does transform things. But as I said last night, I didn't run to make history. I ran to make a difference.</s>MALVEAUX: Another historic moment for the first time, New Hampshire will have an all-female congressional delegation and a female governor. Another big gain for women in Hawaii. Voters there elected their first female Senator. She is also the first U.S. Senator born in Japan. So, Wolf, a lot of progress there going on.</s>BLITZER: Good to have more women coming to Washington.</s>MALVEAUX: There you go.</s>BLITZER: Nice work all around. The balance of power in Congress shows little change, but one difference is the number of women joining the ranks. We have more on this.
