In my Mind the Election Now

Why do we crucify a President for not changing his mind and policy, yet also crucify those running for flip flopping.

I want McCain to win, but he won't. I am already hearing the Bush comparisons and that is the kiss of death.

Obama looks like he will take it. I just wish I could trust change. Falling down and breaking a leg is change, but not good change. If change is more federal oversight and taxation, I can live without it. What happened to "Ask not what your country...".

Clinton..... *crickets* *crickets*

And then there is this:

This little "news" piece has a few bloggers talking. It is not really all that. It is surprising in a few ways.

1. ABC did a news piece where Hillary was not the obvious winner.
2. A journalist spent three months in Iraq and found only 1 McCain Supporter, 2 Hillarys, and 3 O'bama, yet 73% of Soldiers vote.
3. Does anyone really believe the 1 McCain Supporter was serious and the only one in the country?
4. Found it surprising that some people in a war zone want to come home.

Hey ABC here is a Clue, the military is about 65% Republican (it is a stat that can be found). The majority of troops, those E-6 and below generally fall along the lines of the general population and reflect often the political demographics of the area they were brought up in. It is the senior military that are predominately republican and more or less moderate on what ever side they choose.
