My guess is, the closer that it gets to election time, the more that the GOP will work with Democrats on bills. That way they can show the voters that they are really trying to work along side the opposition.
Of course on the other side, the Democrats are setting up the GOP for the fall too.
Or is this election year politics?

Let's be clear, the Democrats didn't do the setting up here, by any stretch of the imagination. The GOP set themselves up for failure by opposing every single piece of legislation that Obama wanted brought to the table, without offering counter legislation.

Post me ONE bill that the Repubs should have voted for in the current congress.
ONLY ONE!

You would think that Republicans could get behind an anti RAPE bill. But nope, can't do that.
30 Republicans including Sen. John McCain voted against an anti rape bill. Really? You would think that anti rape legislation would be something easy to pass, but apparently John McCain doesn't think that way.
