Here is the good news. By 17 Oct 2013 we will see what happens. Worst case is GOP capitulates with a clean CR and DL (as I write Obama actually added amnesty to illegals to his demands to the House) and the GOP takes lumps from their base. Six months later the public will forget and the problems with Obamacare will take center of attention to the public. Hopefully the GOP will make mends with the party base and Tea Party and use Obamacare as a hammer on the Dems, and the gov shutdown is a distant memory for most independents.

That's the way I think it will play out as well ...
