I would go further and say it would be better if the Republicans came up one or two seats short in the Senate. That would eliminate the ability to blame his problems on the Congress, He will still have to show deference to the Dem run Senate. This would, however, be unimportant as everything in the Senate relies on 60 votes to go forward. If the Republicans can stifle the worst of the Obama agenda with 41 strong votes all the better.

We have had ineffectual Senate majorities of 1 - 3 seats for over a decade, it is almost better to be a strong majority than a weak minority when it comes to the Senate.
