All that really matters is taking one or the other. Since we won’t get a veto proof majority our morst pressing need is to stop the Dems from ramming this nightmare scenario through at will. Even if we got both the Senate and House any worthwhile retreat from the O agenda which the Pubs passed would get vetoed. For now we stop the bleeding, and get as much as possible. In ‘12 we get the Pres and both houses and start taking this monster apart.
We don't need a veto proof majority. All we need to do is win control of the House because all spending bills must originate in the House.
We can than defund every Obama program and all of the wasteful agencies (EPA, DOE, DOEd, Interior, etc) if our Republicans have enouth gumption. That's all the more reason to elect conservatives instead of RINOs.
