Senate Defeats Withdraw Measures

Today, Senate defeated a measure which would bring U.S troops back from combat operations in Iraq by April of next year. Although it was a defeat for the democrats, the 29 Senators who did vote for plan showed that there is change progressing in Congress. The overall approval rating of the White House and the War drops everyday with the public growing tiresome of a lost war.

How does this effect presidential primaries? It will be very likely that the War in Iraq will not conclude until sometime next year or even later. By then, there will be a new president in office, most likely a Democrat. What significant changes or even "radical" changes will occur when the democrats control both the White House as well as Congress? We shall see.
