I don't see why democrats shouldn't be working with some like minded Republicans on this. There are issues to be addressed (even Obama said as much in his letter) and should be addressed with the current law. This group of right wing yahoos aren't the guys to do that. You let the right wing twist in the wind that doesn't change but you can still accomplish something.
I agree today is not the day. Let the GOP blow their brains out by getting nothing done the first 100 days or so but the dems should be positioning themselves as the party that brought sanity and collaboration back to the hill while continuing to alienate the Tea Party ilk. With some skill they have the chance to actually do some good and continue to drive the wedge into the GOP blowing them apart.
