75. If an anti-Iraq war candidate was so electable in 2004, why couldn't one of them win the primary?

That stance was so toxic in 2004 that all it took was one TV ad with Osama bin Laden to derail what was looking like an unstoppable campaign for Howard Dean. Better for that to have happened in the primary rather than in the general election so as not to cause losses in Congress.
