Probably a narrow Obama win in 2012, with more focus on the House in 2014, which might let Democrats keep the Senate even though they'd lose the House by a wide margin.

Due to the Democrats' then-unwillingness to dump the legislative filibuster, though, much of Obama's agenda could still be killed. However, if the Democrats did well enough to regain control of the House in 2012, then that means that they almost certainly also did well enough to carry a couple of Senate races that they narrowly lost that year in real life: AZ & NV. Coming out of 2012 with a 57-43 majority in the Senate, they could get immigration reform to pass even with minimal GOP support.
