61. Not as laughable as your premise that only "fringe lefties" care about the war

And your characterization of the OP is a ridiculous strawman. She never said there are no other factors. The war just happens to be a major one, due to 70% of the voting population being sick of it. Since Obama is the only other viable candidate left, he reaps the benefits of that. Sorry if you don't like it.

The reason I brought up Kyl-Lieberman is that that vote is a huge heap of icing on the IWR cake, if you will.

FWIW, I think the main reason he's popular is the media hype/bandwagon effect. But to pretend that the war is a fringe issue is totally wrong. It's not 2003 anymore, and no amount of bloviating can obfuscate that.
