ABC This Week
This Sunday, "This Week" analyzes President Obama's re-election victory, what went wrong for Republicans on Election Day, and what it's going to take to get the White House and Congress to reach a deal and avoid falling off the "fiscal cliff."

George Stephanopoulos and the "This Week" powerhouse roundtable debate all the week's politics, with Fox News anchor Greta van Susteren, Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., Rep. Donna Edwards, D-Md., The Wall Street Journal's Paul Gigot and The Nation's Katrina vanden Heuvel

As President Obama savors his re-election victory, what factors shaped his comfortable electoral win, and what went wrong for Mitt Romney's campaign? Can the Republican Party regain its footing, or do the country's changing demographics threaten its future election prospects? And what challenges confront President Obama as he shapes an agenda for his second term? The "This Week" powerhouse roundtable analyzes the 2012 election results, and the major issues facing Washington in the election's aftermath.

Then, two influential members of the Senate – Budget Committee member Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee chair and co-chair of the 2011 "Super Committee" on deficit reduction; and Sen. Saxby Chambliss Republican member of the "Gang of Six" during last year's debt ceiling debate and vice chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence – discuss the outcome of the 2012 election, the coming negotiations over the year-end "fiscal cliff" and the sudden resignation of CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus.

Can the White House and Congress negotiate a deal on the expiring Bush tax cuts and looming mandatory spending cuts before the end of the year? Will any compromise be reached on raising taxes for the wealthy, or will taxes go up for all Americans and stall the economy? And after a long election season that leaves Washington deadlocked, can President Obama and Congress find common ground – or will dysfunction still rule the nation's capital?

Fareed Zakaria GPS
On GPS Sunday: Advice for successful second presidential term

On GPS this week, a memo to the president. Fareed convenes a panel of two former White House chiefs of staff and a man who has advised four U.S. presidents to answer this question: how should Obama craft a successful second term? John Podesta, Ken Duberstein, and David Gergen offer their take

Also on the show, “big data” and the election. GPS looks at what campaigns know about you and how they use that information. New York Times reporter Charles Duhigg explains.

Finally, how to hurricane-proof a city. Jeffrey Sachs and TIME’s Bryan Walsh explain all

“The ocean level has risen in the eastern seaboard by almost a foot during the past century,” Sachs says. “And that means that storm surges are all the more extreme. The flooding, which was so destructive, is made worse by that. And the ocean surface to sea level keeps rising.

“And it’s rising because of the glaciers melting, the ice sheets thinning. And the risks of massive increase of ocean levels are very, very real. So that’s one very clear part of human-induced, long-term climate change during the past century.”

Now that the winners and losers have been declared in the 2012 elections (well, mostly), the Sunday television talk shows analyze President Obama’s re-election and Republicans’ worse-than-expected results. Also up for discussion is what it will take to get the White House and Congress to reach a deal to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff, the potentially devastating automatic spending cuts and tax increases that are to go into force early next year.
