As far as importance to the voters, I wouldn't underestimate the importance of getting the hell out of Iraq vs staying in Iraq to Independents and moderates. One thing that gives Romney a leg up compared to most of the other GOP candidates is that he has more appeal to those in the middle than most of the others. However, the view of wanting to stay into Iraq is something to placate the extremes of the GOP base and will be a turnoff to the voters in the middle.[/quote]
That I might agree with you on also, but you can't please everyone all the time.

Of course you can't please everyone all the time. However, that doesn't change the fact that his Iraq views are very unpopular once you get outside of the far right reaches of the GOP base. Compared to the rest of the American public, and those in the middle, his views are very extreme.
