WaPo: front-paging Dem differences - again

why are the dems so afraid of taking a stance against the iraq war... why does the wapo still appear to be insisting that most americans support the war...? why is anything that goes contrary to bushco's illegal war automatically slammed by dem leadership...?

Despite Pelosi's claims that she echoes the views of most members in her caucus, plenty of Democrats are cringing at her new high profile on an Iraq withdrawal. Not only did she back a position that polls show most Americans do not support, but she also did this when Bush is trying to move off the defensive by accusing Democrats of supporting a de facto surrender.

"We have not blown our chance" of winning back the House but "we have jeopardized it," said a top strategist to House Democrats, who requested anonymity to speak freely about influential party leaders. "It raises questions about whether we are capable of seizing political opportunities or whether we cannot help ourselves and blow it" by playing to the liberal base of the party.

why does the wapo delight in front-paging democratic differences...?
