How the Democrats Would Rule the Hill

An interesting article from the Times exploring the various ways things would change under democratic rule should they win back the House and or Senate.

Two pretty obvious things they say include that Pelosi will likely be the Speaker and that of course the issues of focus would certainly change; they mention the minimum wage and the stem cell debate.

They also, however, discuss how the majority would be only slight leaving the democrats no room to lean too far to the left. They suggest that regardless of the outcome, a middle ground (with regards to partisanship) will be necessary, especially since we will be coming into a presidential election cycle.
