I've yet to hear mention of the veteran vote. There are millions of vets out there as well as millions of veterans families, and I would guess 75-80% voted against Kerry. You are talking a huge vote. You could almost ignore the draft dodger, but Kerry was a filthy traitor.

Excellent point. Maybe the Swifties have data on this? Try a search. And post whatever you come up with. And our prayers and thanks to you and yours for all your sacrifices.

You are right. I've examined numerous exit polls and none have a breakdown by Vet - NonVet status. Haven't seen it discussed on MSM either. Anyplace to get this data?

1. I haven't heard any post-election analysis of veterans' votes either, but all the polls in the months before the election consistently showed Kerry losing veterans 70-30 or higher. The Swifties did a great job on this and I was a happy contributor.
2. Maybe be need a campaign in the MSM to change "anti-gay marriage" to "pro-traditional marriage" just like transforming from "anti-abortion" to "pro-life" several years ago, which was a long struggle.
3. I am so happy W won!!!

Here it comes ....

"Asked Thursday what brought Kerry down, the former Democratic National Committee chairman blamed The Swiftboat Veterans and POWs for Truth. "

Yes.
The last poll results I saw had the active military voting in record numbers – with 75% for President Bush.
There is no one group that reelected the president, but as Americans we must have everything – no matter how complicated – condensed into one line 15 second sound bytes.
The religionists will claim credit, as will the active military, the veterans, the patriots, the hard core republicans, the anti-elitists, the anti-Hollywood…
In reality it was many different people with many different reasons.
