Interesting point brought up by Dick Morris on post-convention coverage tonight: While Bush supportors are pretty much in agreement on Iraq & the War on Terror, Kerry voters find themselves very split. The stats he cited:

Should we stay in iraq?

• Bush voters: 71 yes/23 no
  
• Kerry voters: 37 yes/54 no

Is the war in Iraq an integral piece of the War on Terror or a Distraction?

• Bush voters: 79 integral/14 distraction
  
• Kerry voters: 36 integral/50 distraction

Are we winning the War on Terror?

• Bush voters: 77 yes/10 no
  
• Kerry voters: 33 yes/42 no

So, as the debates progress, and we find out more about Kerry’s views, it’ll be interesting to see what happens. If he goes right and strengths his position favoring the war on Iraq, will he lose lose some of his base to Nader? If he goes left, will he lose some to Bush?

Another reason this election year is going to be an interesting one.
