Thanks for posting, but for me I think that the opinions of currently deployed troops and veteran's of Iraq and Afghanistan matter more. Again, I said FOR ME their opinions matter more. I realize that some people are interested in polls such as the one you provided but given our current situation in Iraq and Afghanistan, I'm more interested in what deployed troops and veterans of the current wars have to say. And it seems that they're saying that they prefer Obama over McCain.

Troops Deployed Abroad Give 6:1 to Obama

During World War II, soldiers crouching in foxholes penned letters assuring their sweethearts that they'd be home soon. Now, between firefights in the Iraqi desert, some infantrymen have been sending a different kind of mail stateside: two or three hundred dollars -- or whatever they can spare -- towards a presidential election that could very well determine just how soon they come home.

Also, McCain has been given a "D" rating from the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

McCain should and will have to answer for his opposition to the 2008 GI Bill.

The very notion that someone who's served two terms in Iraq isn't entitled is just whack to me.

================================

Reward Republicans for 8 years of failure? No way, No how, No McCain!
