Reuters article uncritically quoted "expert" who said Dems face "nightmare scenario" on Iraq

SUMMARY: A Reuters article uncritically quoted Matthew Woessner, a professor at Pennsylvania State University-Harrisburg, saying that Democrats face a potential "nightmare scenario" over Iraq if "the sum total of the pressures from their constituency groups, are out of step with mainstream America." The article didn't cite any polls to back up Woessner's claim; in fact, polls show that a majority of Americans oppose the war in Iraq and believe that some or all troops should be withdrawn from Iraq.
