You didn't include one of GW's largest support group since 9/11, mothers with babies up to teenagers.

We have several younger females relatives in that category. Since 9/11, they have become GW fans and more conservative as time goes on.

One of these a young lady with two toddlers and another baby on the way, said she would go over with her dogs to get information out of the Iraqi prisoners. She says that each release of the photos makes her more resolute to make sure Kerry is not our next president. She said that most of her Mother's group and her relatives feel the same way. In fact some are much more pro violence against Iraqis who resist, fight and play games as prisoners.

She didn't vote for GW in the last election. She will this coming election. So will her friends.

The mass murder of 3,000 innocent Americans on 9/11/2001 was a wakeup call for this young woman and probably millions of her peers. You never see the al Qaeda pollster al Zogby addressing this huge bloc of voters.

You're right. I have been surprised by the number of women commentators not outraged by the idiotic things shown in those pictures.

I think one of the polls put the percentage of people who think the soldiers should have been court martialed in the 70s. I expect that number to drop a bit as the trials go on and beheadings continue. Paradoxically, this may be what President Bush needs most to worry about - a NASCAR dad and CON-nie mommy backlash - especially if the command isn't court martialed. I suspect at least the general will be.
