I don't think the R handlers will endorse this strategy all the way through to default. The GOP is a damaged brand. They don't have the political capital to force Obama to accept concessions on this. And the media will not have the power to sculpt public opinion to blame it on obama's economic policies.

This can only damage the GOP further imo.
