Well, practically speaking what's the difference? Nothing good will come out of Washington either way. At least if Republicans win both houses, (1) they're more likely to be seen as the incumbents along with Obama through the next years of grinding economic misery; (2) it might make it slightly harder for Obama to cut a deal with the Republicans to gut Social Security, because all the blame would fall to him alone for the "sell-out."
