THE GOP TO-DO LIST. House Speaker-in-waiting John Boehner pledged on Capitol Hill yesterday "to fix the Congress so that the Congress can focus in on Americans' priorities," adding that "their priorities are pretty straightforward." But a new poll out today indicates that the public's priorities may not be quite as "straightforward" as he and his fellow Republicans would like. On the issue of repealing the health care reform law, for example, the American people appear to have mixed feelings. Just 39 percent are behind the GOP's push to repeal or minimize it, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll conducted after last Tuesday's elections. Another 58 percent of Americans actually say they prefer more changes to the country's health care system or would simply like the new law to stay in place as is.
