"With both the House and Senate led by Democrats, we have a chance to get America back on the right track," Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., said in a statement. "I will first and foremost focus on the disaster in Iraq, setting a deadline so we can end the war and bring our brave heroes home."

Kerry is in line for the chairmanship of the Small Business Committee. He would also control several subcommittees, including the East Asian and Pacific Affairs panel of the Foreign Relations Committee.

Promises of bipartisanship were everywhere in Washington yesterday, as the White House saw its one-party rule dissipate and Democrats eye the 2008 presidential elections.

The new political reality had an immediate impact on the President Bush's agenda, characterized by a White House lunch he hosted yesterday for Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, the presumptive Democratic House Speaker.

2. Well, power matters

It's one thing to criticize Dems for the Lowell Sun because for the last 12 years Dems have, for the most part, not controlled the money in Congress.

Now, Chairman Kerry of the Senate Small Biz Committee is in a position to ahm, *help* some of the small businesses around say, oh, Lowell.
