Deployed Soldiers Give More To Obama Than McCani By 6:1 Ratio
Good news for Obama from a propaganda standpoint, but I think the lopsided contributions speak more to conservative dissatisfaction with McCain than outrageous amounts of new support for Obama.
That and Obama’s admittedly tech-savvy and creative fund raising efforts which appeal to the younger generations who are serving in the military. Plus, contributions from 292 soldiers deployed abroad is hardly a representative sample of all deployed troops.
Things even out a bit more when all military personnel are included:
Ultimately, when votes are counted, I think McCain will win out over Obama with the military vote. But Obama is going to be able to make some political hay from this as he and his liberals scramble to start caring about what the military thinks about politics.
