How powerful will the Democratic party really be come January?

Asked by chutterhanban (1020points) November 7th, 2008

The Senate now has 54 Democrats and 2 Independents who caucus with them (source)

The House is 254/173 in favor of the Democrats (+18). (source)

The President elect is a Democrat.

How much power will that party now hold? How quickly can bills be passed? What kind of bills will pass that may not have in the past?
