Am I the only one who sees the insanity of the line about non veterans supporting Kerry by 51% to 41%?
Gang, lets do the math. This is a very polarizing election. Lets say that because of this, 120 million people will vote. Even during WW II we only had 12 million men and women in uniform and we had 140 million people. So, even then, that was less than 10% and the ratio of vets to non vets was 1:11.6
Today we have ( and lets be very generous maybe 3 million living vets) This means that the ratio of vets to non vets
who will be voting is now 1:40. So there will be 117 million non vets voting. If Kerry already has 51% of this number, that's 59.6 million votes. I think it is insane to say Kerry will start out with almost 60 million votes!
Doesn't anyone who writes these releases talk them through out loud? Even if every single vet voted for Bush he would still be out of the race right now and that is far from the case.
