Vote Issue Update: Look for Suppression of Military Vote

For all the talk of those on the Left about donations from military folks going toward Obama, we see more and more military personnel favoring John McCain. Here is the story:
A poll by the Military Times newspaper group suggests that there is overwhelming support for John McCain among U.S. troops in every branch of the armed forces by a nearly 3-1 margin.

According to the poll, 68 percent of active-duty and retired servicemen and women support McCain, while 23 percent support Barack Obama. The numbers are nearly identical among officers and enlisted troops.

The Military Times, which publishes the Army Times, Navy Times, Marine Corps Times and Air Force Times, polled 80,000 subscribers from Sept 22 to Sept. 29. The non-scientific survey gathered 4,300 respondents -- all of them registered and eligible to vote.

Therefore, look for more suppression of the military vote, but look for the Left to continue to expand the vote for fish in lakes.
