Fiscal cliff: will Congress go back to the bipartisan bills defeated over the last year?

Last March, a bipartisan bill (Cooper-Latourette) got only 38 votes. It was signficantly more to the right than either Simpson-Bowles or Rankin-Domenici: deeper cuts in social programs, significantly less cuts in defense, and considerably less in new revenue.

If that wouldn't fly then, would it fly before January 2, 2013? And if not, what's left?
