Since all electable presidential candidates have to be willing to go to war, this would mean that all antiwar folks are pretty much disqualified from having an impact on any presidential election, sicne they would be stuck voting for the Feng Shui party every time. That seems odd.

Larry, be careful not to get wrapped 'round the axle on this one.
Hank is simply framing the question cleverly, in accordance with GOP campaign guidelines. Kinda like in today's paper, where the Administration, when
faced with the revelation that they've set up their Office of Faith-Based Initiatives in 10 federal agencies without mentioning it to Congress, they simply replied that it shows that "the president is taking the steps he promised he would take to end discrimination against faith-based groups."
Clever, no? It's not really about a small office in the executive branch redistributing funds to a religious movement they support without getting approval from voters or Congress. It's about ending "discrimination."
Remember, this is the campaign that had the VP sneer at Kerry's "sensitive" approach to fighting terrorism less than 24 hours before the Prez advocated "sensitivity" re: same. If you blink, you'll miss it.
