Last time an anti-war candidate won a Presidential race in wartime?

[Gabu]

HAHA...I love how you use an opinion as an answer. "A war as unpopular as this one" ... I doubt this is as unpopular as Vietnam or Korea and by the way...a pro-war candidate (Eisenhower and Nixon) both won during those unpopular wars.

So, would you like to try again, pal?

In 1952, Eisenhower promised to end (and did get a cease-fire in) the Korean War.

In 1968, Humphrey's main problem in his campaign was that America was still in Vietnam, and he received a massive boost to his campaign when President Johnson announced a bombing halt and a possible peace deal.

If you're going to try to bolster your position, these are not exactly the best example to pick.  In 1952, the Democratic candidate was severely dragged down by an unpopular war started by a Democratic president.  In 1968, the Democratic candidate was severely dragged down by an unpopular war started by a Democratic president.  If we're going to assume that history will repeat itself, then fill in the blanks: "In 2008, the ________ candidate will be severely dragged down by an unpopular war started by a ________ president."

Would you like to try again?

I thank Mike Naso for his acknowledgement that I made a good point and that he found himself unable to adequately rebut my statement.

And now, with his arguments hopelessly crushed, Mike Naso will never be seen again in this topic, tacitly admitting defeat.
