One of the major problems is that both parties' primary interest is making sure that they can defeat the other party in the next election. If Romney wins the odds are that the democrats will still hold the senate so they will likely not work with him and we will be stuck with another 4 years of stagnant government. If Obama wins the republicans will likely still hold the house and will not work with him.
Even, as we have seen, if one party controls all three houses the minority party threaten filibuster on everything in an effort to make sure that nothing gets done.
I don't see an end to much of any of this until one party gains control of all three, decides to do some stuff that is actually good for the country then when the other party threatens filibuster they call their bluff and force them to carry out their threats.
