chances are of the House coming to any sort of rational consensus

Well I think there are two significant facts that make this different from the debt ceiling crisis. The first is that Obama has more leverage now in that if he and Congress do nothing then all the tax cuts expire. The second is the influence of Ryan - assuming Obama wins, Ryan's presumably the heir presumptive on the Republican side. He's a numbers-type guy, and if wants to show leadership I think he can bring the House with him on a compromise.

But maybe that's just me being optimistic.
