The mind blowing thing is that a lot of reporters have said that there are 100-150 GOP Congressmen who would vote to end the shutdown and raise the debt ceiling if the vote was by secret ballot. They're afraid of being "primaried". Read: "I like my job waaaaay more than I like 1,000,000 public sector worker jobs and a functioning economy."
