The Rochester Post Bulletin reports on Dr. Brian J. Davis's media tour of the district in Latest congressional hopeful says Iraq War is No. 1 issue. Here's Davis's position on the war as reported in the PB:
Davis, 49, spent Wednesday traveling the district and meeting with media representatives. He said he believes the No. 1 issue, as it was in 2006, remains the war in Iraq. Davis said he opposes a rapid withdrawal of American forces from Iraq and that the U.S. should do its best to support the democratically elected government in Iraq.
That position would appear to put him against a head wind of public opinion. Polls have consistently shown that most Americans think the invasion of Iraq was a mistake. But Davis argues that more detailed reading of public opinion polls show that most people "don't want us to lose in Iraq."
"I don't think people want to see us just fold up our tents and just leave tomorrow," Davis said.
