Holding a majority in either house (especially the Senate) is a powerful thing for a Party that does not hold the Presidency.
It can effectively stop the Administration’s agenda (see 1994), which is what is sorely needed now.
It can prevent the subversion of the Judicial Branch by Progressives, literally for generations.
Goldstein is a tough guy. He can take the hits.

Believe me, I won’t be crying if we gain control of congress...I just think the 1,000 cut approach is better against Obama instead of a single, swift blow. 1994 is what got Clinton re-elected in 1996. A “leader” like Obama requires “absolute control” to do anything.
People, including you, have a good point on Judicial appointments made by the Senate though ... that thought hadn’t crossed my mind :-).
