The Senate.
 
35 seats running, 21 Dem, 14 GOP, GOP needs to net +6 to gain control, or the Dems need to net -6 to lose control :)

Party change of 6 out of 35 seems like a long shot to me, unscientific gut thought. But plenty of drama awaits. And this doesn't help:

"....

Of the 53 Democratic senators, it’s the nearly two dozen facing re-election this year who are causing jitters for Obama and the party. With control of the Senate at stake, many of those Democrats are actively seeking ways to distance themselves from a president who is deeply unpopular in their home states.

...."

It's OK. That always happens to lame duck presidents. No biggie, he's already going to get a library.
Hmmm, might have to take a vacation to Honolulu once they get it built. I've always wanted to see Pearl Harbor too. ;)
