If the Democrats win If the Democrats win

Richard E. Cohen article: If They Win takes a positive view of a Democratic majority in Congress. He barely mentions:
For many key Democrats, the emerging strategy -- should they win some congressional control this November -- appears to be to try to score legislative victories where possible, thwart GOP initiatives, and wage an aggressive oversight campaign to expose what they see as Bush administration shortcomings and neglected national problems. They hope that the high-profile hearings and investigations they plan to hold as part of their 2007-08 oversight effort will lay the groundwork for more-sweeping legislative changes after the presidential election, when they may have widened their congressional majorities and perhaps captured the White House.
In particular, he glosses over Rep. Conyer's intent to immediately begin impeachment hearings.
