The Democrats are despairing that Obamacare might not happen and the GOP may score big pickups in 2010. But the Bush and Clinton administrations show that presidents -- even absent a supermajority in Congress -- can still push through serious legislation.

UPDATED: The Senate has taken up the Akaka bill which will restore certain rights to Native Hawaiians and it looks like it will pass.
