If I had to bet money right now (as in, gun to my head), I would bet that the Dems keep majorities in both houses next fall (although they'll lose some seats in both, for sure), and that Obama gets reelected in 2012. On the other hand, I'd bet as little as the guy with the gun let me
I'm willing to give the GOP the benefit of the doubt and say they'll mount an impressive 2010 comeback. They may fall just short of winning control of the House and Senate, but it'll be impressive.
I doubt very seriously Obama gets beat in 2012. There'd have to be a "rock star" Republican to beat him and there's no one in the field that can both appeal to the moderates and get past the Conservative wing. Until the moderates and the Conservatives find middle ground, the GOP won't hold the Oval Office.
