President Bush and Republican congressional leaders have been boasting since Nov. 2 that voters gave them a mandate to press forward with their conservative agenda.
But their aura of invincibility masks a reality of political life on Capitol Hill - GOP leaders will continue to need support from moderate lawmakers if they want to turn some of Bush's legislative priorities into law.
That is especially true in the Senate, where 41 votes can bring legislation to a standstill.
