I think the emerging picture here is that it's difficult to get anything significant done if you can't get cooperation from the two parties. If the last several years are an example, one party seems willing to work and the other clearly is not.
Of course the Democrats may decide to call touche and shut everything down. As much as everyone says they're angy at both parties, the Libertarian in Mass. got single digit support. The major parties probably aren't terribly threatened.
So far the public is rewarding the party that has chosen to say "no" and not deviate from that message.
