If he supports the Iraq war, he'd get destroyed on the left.
Jfern is right, I'd lose some 'dovish' votes on the left - but I'll be targeting my campaign at the mainstream and would probably garner greater support from moderates, as well as a significant plurality of Republicans and conservatives than more 'bona fide' liberal candidates. I've made no secret of the fact I feel that the Democratic Party's biggest mistake was the abandonment of a Trumanite foreign/defence policy
My campaign message would be a fine blend of economic liberalism (based on social justice) and social populism. What support I'd lose from liberal doves, I'd hope to counter by gaining support from more conservative Democrats, who've been trending GOP. 11% of registered Democrats voted for GWB and frankly, they were enough to give him the victory
Rest assured yours truly would take on the Left and win 
. The Democratic Party must confront its dovish base
While, I'm on, were I elected president, in the event of a Supreme vacancy, I'll be minded to either keep the status quo (as a liberal retires, a liberal is appointed, etc) or I'd seek to weed out the ideologues (liberal and conservative). America needs consensual stability on the Supreme Court
On foreign policy, I'd aggessively push for a pro-active United Nations, with America and her allies at the helm because in additional to being the US president, I'd take my role as 'the' global leader very seriously ; however, American interests would never be compromised and if, it was necessary to act without a UN mandate, I would

You'd win my vote, for what that's worth.
