Needless to say, the Washington DC Journamalist press corps will use this to claim that Edwards is too far out there*, but in reality the fact that that congress should not fund the war without a withdrawal timetable is actually pretty safe.
More than 90% of the primary voters, and more than 70% of those folks who are not Republican Dead Enders™ support this. It's a natural vote getter.
My recommendation to any Democratic presidential candidate is to state loudly and clearly that escalation by attacking Iran is a bad thing. It would destabilize the region, provide popular support to the Iranian theocracy, and put more American lives at risk.
In fact, I would suggest that a candidate should suggest that this is a reason to initiate immediate impeachment proceedings.
