Democrats Seek a Shift to Issues That Will Favor Them

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 - The Democratic decision to bushwhack Senate Republicans this week with a surprise procedural maneuver reflected a larger political strategy to shift the terrain to issues that Democrats believe will play to their common advantage in the 2006 elections.

After infuriating majority Republicans on Tuesday by forcing the Senate into a closed session over the Bush administration's handling of intelligence before the Iraq war, leading Senate Democrats said Wednesday that they would not shy from using any means available to have their say, though they would not tip their hand on specific plans.

"There is still a lot of fight in this Democratic Party, and on the right issues we are going to get up and fight," said Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat, as the Senate clash continued to reverberate on Capitol Hill.

Arguing that Republicans are vulnerable in light of misconduct accusations reaching the highest levels of the White House and Congress, a rising death toll in Iraq and record fuel prices and oil company profits, Democrats are taking a more aggressive adversarial posture.
