Democrats’ stunning win elections, the range of beyond the economic agenda of President Bush focuses on tax cuts for more populist debates on income inequality, globalization, budget deficits and coverage of health care, among other issues.

“The theme for the next two years Schaufenster’08,” said Dan Mica, a former Democratic member of Congress, head of the Credit Union National Association. “America believes that the elections were yesterday, but we had only one break … by advertising. ”
The first hint that the Democrats could mean gains this month, as Congress reconvenes, nor in the GOP control for a lame duck session At the end of bills and other expenses of the legislation. Faced with a shock of the election, Republicans are only the minimum and go home, “said Mica.

“This is an opportunity to do certain things, but they were too quick,” said Nigel Gault of Global Insight. “The more we in the elections, it is most unlikely.”
Although it is difficult to laws, Democrats still have much to the strength of the agenda.
