...returned to Washington without a long list of bills he was keen to pass. He could see that his Democratic friends felt no need to cut deals while they held a lopsided margin in the Senate. Several veteran aides who helped guide him in campaigns past have left town or consult from a greater distance. Longtime advisers and Senate colleagues report that he has struggled to regain his footing and voice.
