I've got a post up at Greg's place about how limited the spectrum of elite opinion is and how that distorts the perception of how popular unilateral intervention in Libya actually is.
The Washington Post has a new poll showing more support for a no-fly zone than previous polls, but there are some key caveats:
But support slips under 50 percent when it comes to more unilateral U.S. action, as Democrats and independents peel away. And under either scenario, about a quarter of all no-fly advocates turn into opponents when the specifics of the military action are detailed.
Point is, Beltway pundits tend to be more uniformly hawkish than the public at large.
