It will be interesting to see how House and Senate Republicans handle their party's civil war. The tried-and-true method by which Republicans have dealt with the crazies in their base is to placate them with purely symbolic measures (a House vote to repeal health reform that dies in the Senate, lots of talk of a balanced budget amendment) while continuing with business (and I do mean business) as usual on substantive matters - tax breaks and deregulation of well-connected businesses, big chunks of money for the obscenely rich, etc. The crazies have always bought this in the past, so smart money says it'll work again this time around.
