I think they will. Slight majority, since that's pretty much what's in play.

Thoughts?

Before the Paul Ryan pick, I was leaning the same way. With him at the top of the ticket, I believe the DNC is going to run a "Republicans will kill Medicare" campaign nationally that will keep the Senate, and pick up a few seats in the House. I don't think they can take the House, though. This of course all depends on the economy staying the same or getting better. If things take a turn for the worse, the Republicans will win everything. The situation is good enough now that Democrats can run on third rail politics.

Maybe a slight majority. certainly not filibuster proof.

The Democrats are too limp dicked to ever filibuster so that won't matter.

Obama wins, GOP holds the house, GOP gets to 50/51 in the senate.
