yes, it is early. But there has not been an election quite like this in a long time. The last time there was a President leaving office with this kind of popularity numbers was Truman and Ike and the Republicans knew how to run against an unpopular war. The democrats have a huge wedge issue in the war that they can run on until the cows come home, unless the republicans move off of the current strategy. By Spring of 2008 we can't continue the current surge according to our best pentagon estimates....even if the President begins to bring troops home because things are going better (which I doubt will be the case on eithe point - that he will voluntarily bring home large number of troops or do so winningly), the democrats will claim they forced him to do so. If Iraq collapses, they blame him. If the economy softens next year, he gets the blame for that. The democrats will run on: "Money for Iraq but not for Children's health care" and "money for Iraq but not for bridges and schools". The Republicans better decide what they can run on to win, and it is not Iraq. It's not family values (that is just a laugh line anymore), and it isn't fiscal responsibility (they had their chance there).
