48. I don't see this

if we retain the Senate and possibly take the House, President Obama will have a real shot at improving the economy and employment.

In 2009-2010 we had huge majorities in the House and Senate - bigger than we can hope for in 2013. So there will be again be a lot of appeasement and "reaching out" by the president. Not much will get done again.
