I don't think that we can take the House back. With the gerrymandered districts, I don't think we can take control of the House. I wish I was more optimistic about that, but the advantage the Rethugs had in drawing the districts after the 2010 Census is going to be nearly impossible to overcome.

The Senate, I doubt that we will lose the Majority, but I also doubt that we will take the Supermajority and get control of 60 seats.

That would appear to be stagnant, or nearly so, for the time being. The bigger point in my OP was that we don't need to rule out anyone as a contender for 2016.
