I think the current day Republicans need to reflect on Newt Gingrich and how pompous he was after his ascension. In fact, Nancy Pelosi should have as well.
Being obstructionists I don't believe will help their cause. If Obama is smart, I'm pretty sure his is, he and the rest of the Democrats should take an approach of compromise. Then if the Republicans dig their heels in, they will look very bad.
However, if the economy is still floundering that will influence the voters more than anything.
