You are so right. Fortunately, the American people are a lot tougher minded than the American elite. Consider how Nixon mopped the floor with McGovern in '72 - maybe the most one-sided election in history. Yet this came after 7+ years of the VN war, 55K dead, and massive antiwar protests. The war itself was never popular, Nixon was certainly not a person who inspired love and respect - like Reagan or Kennedy - instead Nixon was viewed as sneaky and trustworthy. McGovern had been a war hero in WWII, he was a decent and mild-mannered man. The Nixon landslide happened simply because the Dems nominated a straight up honest peace at any price candidate. And the American people showed exactly what they thought about that. The same thing would happen today given the same choice. The Democrat leadership knows this. Which is why the last go-around the Dems rejected Dean who was the most popular figure in the party and searched for a stealth candidate like Clark or Kerry who had military backgrounds and who both actually formally supported the war with Iraq to begin with.
