I would think the democrats would lose a lot of ground if troops left before the presidential election.

It's not like Bush has been following basic Republican doctrine about the economy, so the Dems can't win on that easily., especially when the Democrats have failed to win on that in the previous two elections.

A Republican governor, especially one without strong religious ties, could step in and win it.

The Democratic primary is going to basically turn into another who wants to spend more on various program debate like in 2000, which turned off a lot of people. Not necessarily that good when you want to attack the Republicans on the economy too. That is the more optimistic situation too, assuming they don't go into character assassination.

I don't really see why the Democrats really want to pull out that soon. Especially when things can easily go to hell there in a 6 month period after troops are gone.
