As a bit of brain food to distract us, I'll throw out a question I got at a lecture last month:

Who will be more successful at working with the 111th Congress and why?

It's worth noting that for the first time in many, many years the next President will have previous experience working in the U.S. Congress passing legislation. McCain's been doing it for decades, Obama for just a few years, but both are familiar with the wheeling and dealing, the alliances, the rivalries, etc. Given that the next Congress is almost certainly going to be Democrat-controlled (possibly filibuster-proof) which candidate would do best?
