25. Peace didn't leave the race with Kucinich. His departure doesn't mean the party BACKS the war.

Why run to the right of the people? Why even try to hedge, when history shows hedging can't work? The answer is clarity.

It isn't possible to out-hawk the GOP anyway, so there's no point in trying.

Nobody who still thinks the war is a good idea is going to vote for any Democrat.

The answer is to make it clear that we're going to end this. Only people who want the war stopped are going to vote for us, and there's a majority if we get THOSE people.

We can win on a clear difference on the war. Don't fear the people, they're with the progressive peace side of the issue.
