| Description | Between now and Election Day, Democrats say they will use Congress to showcase the kinds of change promised by their presidential candidate, Barack Obama.
Some legislation they'll choose has good prospects of passage - policy blueprints for higher education and the military; a ban on lead in toys - and skip over debates on spending plans and some taxes until a new president takes office.
Other bills they'll debate are doomed. But on those, the point isn't passage this year. It's about making the case that the Democrats' plan for children's health care, for example, won't become law without one of their own in the White House. |
