I thought the plan was for the Republicans to get enough to stop new bad legislation from being passed. Obama isn’t going to sign Republican policy initiatives. The Republicans can pass laws that the people like, and Obama can veto them, and in 2012 they can point to what the people can expect if they elect the Republican.
I’d avoid a repeat of the budget issue between the 94 and 96 elections, the shutting down of the government and whatnot.
Don’t be too quick to pull that trigger this time. The mood of the country is totally upside-down right now and it will be getting worse.

I wouldn’t. Playing chicken with the liberals is a winning strategy. They will not shut down the government. they are terrified that we may discover that we can actually live without it.
