Democrats are planning on government closure and blaming the Republicans like 1995. But I think the Repubs are ready for them, arguing that their cuts don't necessitate shutting down the government. When you see what's going on (or not) in Wisconsin, I don't think the left understands how things have changed. They've been living in the past and I don't think Americans are going to have much patience with tactics that oppose cuts in spending, even if it costs some federal employees some benefits or even their phony baloney jobs.

Of course, maybe I'm wrong, since I get all my news via the internet, like Ann Althouse, whose blogs have been informative and offer a unique point of view and a huge number of photos.
