It won't do anything meaningful. Did you forget the House of Representatives is controlled by the GOP? Did you forget that quite a few vulnerable Senate Democrats are up for re-election in 2014?
Because of that, I can tell you right now that the 2nd Term Obama Agenda has just came to a screeching halt. Vulnerable Democrats won't come anywhere near putting political capital on the line to support the President. Not gonna happen, lest they be voted out of office. This is particularly true in the gun debate. If it weren't true, then Democrats would be proclaiming loudly that gun control legislation will be passed. Indeed, it's exactly the opposite. No Democrat has gone on record proclaiming victory over gun bans, etc. Why? Because 2014 is right around the corner.
The lame duck Presidency has already started. And if Republicans take the Senate? Then Barack Obama might as well take a 2 year vacation. Because the House of Representatives is safe for the next 10 years due to redistricting.
