Now, I'm just sayin'...
This story was published by the AP in the middle of August. How did we miss this??? Oh, wait - because if we talk about this, we put a dent in the the McCain/POW/war hero narrative. And if we do that, we can't draw our clear line between the two candidates and their military cred (or their lack thereof) - regardless of how many times one of them may have voted against veterans' benefits over the course of his congressional career.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. soldiers have donated more presidential campaign money to Democrat Barack Obama than to Republican John McCain, a reversal of previous campaigns in which military donations tended to favor GOP White House hopefuls, a nonpartisan group reported Thursday.
Troops serving abroad have given nearly six times as much money to Obama's presidential campaign as they have to McCain's, the Center for Responsive Politics said.
