E.J. Dionne: 'Silent majority' won't help

E.J. Dionne: 'Silent majority' won't help: " What could prove to be the most important factor in the 2006 elections is overlooked because it is unseen: The Republicans cannot try to curry favor with a 'silent majority' that favors the Iraq War because a majority of Americans, both vocal and quiet, has come to see the war as a mistake.
President Bush's defenders from Donald Rumsfeld to Karl Rove have tried hard to cast opponents of the war as supposedly weak on terror. But the charges have not taken hold because most Americans don't agree with the premise linking the two."
