Democrats would gain the most from a shutdown. Obama, not so much.
As much as I hope it doesn't come down to it, I think many Republicans need a reality check in the worst possible manner. Nothing would please me more than seeing the Tea Partiers smacked down and the establishment being able to take in some control again. To me the Tea Partiers are just right-wing variants of the hippies. They can't stand the establishment, and go to extraordinary lengths to create upheaval out of some induced haze. Instead of drugs it's some moron's interpretation about the founding generation. Same difference, really.
We should deal with it like we dealt with the hippies: crush dissent, make the machine work again by making the public like the machine.
