Donna brazil was on just now saying it will take at least 2 cycles, probably more, due to the incredibly high reelection rates.
I would argue that the democratic midterm problem is just as bad as the republican minority problem.
What's the point of having hillary in there if her only job is to veto a republican congress?
First mid-term after a new Republican president should produce solid gains (there have been exceptions, but the two-year curse is as good a trend as any in modern politics). I don't know if they'll retake the house, but they will probably strenghten their position heading into the next round of elections--especially if the Republican president isn't popular and/or they produce a strong candidate.
