It will be interesting to see the (relatively) moderate Republicans (McConnell, Boehner) who know this fighting against the 'Bagger faction who have made disagreeing with Obama an article of faith. This election could prove to be a Pyrrhic victory for the GOP if they don't get their governance shit together.

Right. Now they have to prove that what they have to offer is actually worth something. Like they did with majorities in house senate, and the fool-in-chief behind the oval office desk in 2000 - '06.
How'd that work out?
