He promoting himself as an "anti-war" candidate, as you put it. But he came out at immediately against the war, the Patriot Act, and the excesses of the Bush administration, and his voting record shows that--not just the PR. He is also one of the very few senators actually working on PROGRESSIVE reforms rather than regressive, pro-business reforms.

No one should mistake any candidate as an anti-war candidate, especially when they aren't running as one. He was against the Iraq war. He is not anti-war. One needs to make these distinctions about candidates when evaluating them. If the only candidate YOU are willing to vote for is a pacifist, that's fine. But I'm comfortable enough with his voting record, and believe he would bring the troops home in short order if elected.

For chrissake, this is US politics and politicians we are talking about. We don't have Jimmy Stewart candidates or god to choose from.
