Who won the elections?

With Congress coming back from their Thanksgiving vacation this week, I have to ask: Who won the election? I'm asking because the GOP, while talking a good game of compromise, seem to be giving the same type of talking points that Mitt Romney gave during the election.
On the Sunday talk shows, many GOP said that they need to compromise and put revenue on the table. But then when asked, they said that it was their preference that rates not increase. But loopholes could be slashed if all entitlement were on the table, including the Affordable Care Act. WAIT!!!!! Did n't we just have an election? And Romney did lose, right? And the Democrats won more seats in both the Senate and the House than they had last Congress. And in all elections, if the national numbers were added up, more people voted for the Democrats than the GOP in the Presidential election, the Senate elections, and yes, the House election.
Grover Norquist said before the election that the only thing that he wanted the President to do was sign the bills that the GOP sent to him. If the Democrats and President Obama go along with the fiasco that the GOP is peddling, Grover will get exactly what he wants, and in a way, he'll have won the election. So again I ask, who really won the election. The next few months will tell us if the Democrats have the backbone to really win the election.
