Yes, things look bad for the Dems this election, but not so bad that the voters are going to give the republicans 2/3 of Senate or House. So all the rights bullshit and scare tactics won't change a thing. We already have gridlock, so expect that to continue for another 4 years of Obama.
In spite of bad news, here is why nothing is going to change.
PRESIDENTIAL VETO
Presidential vetoes are a rejection of legislation approved by majorities in both
houses of Congress. Vetoes and congressional efforts to override them are often the
reason for, or a reflection of, conflict between Congress and the President. The threat
of a presidential veto can prompt the modification of bills moving through the legislative
process.
A bill or joint resolution that has been vetoed by the President can become law if two-thirds of the
Members voting in the House and the Senate each agree to pass it over the Presidents objection.
