Mark Chambers pointed me to this speech by Vermont governor and Democratic presidential aspirant Howard Dean. It’s a long time until 2004, but I think there’s a fair chance that someone like Dean, who’s openly opposed to war with Iraq, will look better than the majority of the Democrats who’ve waffled* on the issue.

* In the US, “waffle” means “speak evasively”, in Australia “speak to no purpose”. Both are applicable.
