Seems plausible to me that House GOP could be marginally less intransigent under a second Obama term -- didn't this happen in 97-01? #uppers
@BrentSirota A few major passages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/105th_United_States_Congress … the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 also comes to mind...

@mtracey Wouldn't expect squeaker O victory to generate new bipartisan spirit. GOP prospect of facing voters in 14 w/ no legis accomplishmts -
@BrentSirota Maybe true, I just think the House GOP's posture of unanimous opposition to EVERYTHING might erode a tad.

@mtracey Incipient econ recovery, more than Obama reelection, I think more likely to discredit GOP use of obstruction as electoral strategy -
@BrentSirota Perhaps -- I also think fighting Obama on every little trivial thing will become less politically salient.
