Was it ever possible to elect a nominee that was against war?

It looks like the nomination is Kerry's to lose, but some still hold out hope that Edwards can pull off a great comeback.

As the primaries proceeded many latched on to the slightest indication that the candidates didn't support military removal of Saddam. Now that it is more clear who the nom will be, the revelation is sinking in that both Kerry and Edwards are quibbling with Bush about process not ultimate military intervention. Only candidates who were extreme long shots came right out and called bush a liar.

Whatever the feelings of members of DU about Iraq, would a Dem nominee have a shot at election with voters of this country if he was against ultimately using military force for Saddam's ouster?
