Would it be best for the Democrats if they don't quite win back Congress?

and thank God, too. Though I fear for the worst in 2008 if we only manage to maintain congress....and what if we lose a chamber? I am already thinking about becoming Indy or GOP if the dems lose. At least I will be able to vote for the most secular GOPer if I switch.

So, if we lose in 2008, we will be able to control congress into the future with more ideological vigor than we did when we were last the simultaneous permanent congressional majority and permanent presidential minority. Therefore, we should be able to block the GOP's agenda and force the president, especially if they are Giuliani, Thompson or Romney to only bring us justice replacements in the mold of Souter and O'Connor. I will not force them to have to go with another Stevens, and I may consider a Kennedy (a conservative that will not overturn Roe) but we should table anyone further to the right unless Roe, Brown or Laughlin are in no danger of being overuled. Our congressional misison will be to force the Supreme Court to have no than 6 justices that follow those three precedents and to make sure that the president will not allow us to fall behind the world in technology and social mobility.
