Who are the troops supporting in the election? ?

Question

Does anyone know how many dollars each candidate has collected from the soldiers in the military?

Answer 1

McCain and Palin...

money is not a determining factor

Answer 2

Palin

Answer 3

The troops are a mixture of americana. They are as different as we are when it comes to politics. Though historically overall republican due to pay increases, Im pretty sure they will vote as varied as we do  

Answer 4

Among soldiers serving overseas at the time of their donations, 134 gave a total of $60,642 to Obama while 26 gave a total of $10,665 to McCain.

holy cow all 134 gave to obama stop the presses.  its not like their are over 140,000 troops in Iraq alone is it

oh and so you know that "report" left out the fact that it included Guiliani, Romney, Hunter, Huckabee, Thompson and yes Clinton.

and republicans received more than democrats in total.  but thanks for the great proof of liberal bias.

Obama, Barack $335,536 859

McCain, John $280,513 558

Paul, Ron $232,411 537

Clinton, Hillary $167,050 376

Republican National Cmte $135,902 219

Huckabee, Mike $66,751 127

Thompson, Fred $46,400 93

Romney, Mitt $43,307 96

Giuliani, Rudolph W $22,050 47

Answer 5

the troops are supporting Obama....  they know that McCain called the G.I. bill too "generous"........

Answer 6

More deployed troops give money to Obama

Answer 7

Unless you ask all of them you can't really say, but it doesn't matter since most of them can't vote while they're over there.

Answer 8

I don't really know who they are supporting; sticky subject.  The three I know who have been to Iraq/Afghanistan clam up about the what happened over there, and are very, very resentful of the war.  

Answer 9

Most (but not all) military families are historically conservative, and this election does not look like it is going to be any different...
