6. I hope the GOP just keeps doing what it's been doing.

More exposure for Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, Louie Gohmert, Rand Paul, Michele Bachman, and all the other crazies. Most Americans know these extreme views are harmful to the country, and when things like shutting down government happen--with nothing to show for it except widespread damage to the economy--they are less likely to vote for these nuts. Even if these people aren't in their district, they don't want their party to have enough control so these extreme views, which do not represent most of America, can have any say over the direction our country takes.

The Democrats aren't perfect, but they're still a lot better than any of the other options. Hopefully, the Dems will move more to the left going forward to show there truly is a difference. We really need to emphasize the contrast with these extreme views on the right.

Please...more Sarah, more crazy talk, and more extreme stunts. Let's see how low the GOP and Tea Baggers can go in the polls!
