Petraeus is registered to vote as a Republican in New Hampshire—he once described himself to a friend as a northeastern Republican, in the tradition of Nelson Rockefeller—but he said that around 2002, after he became a two-star general, he stopped voting.

My brother is a Colonel who he hadn’t voted in years. He said he was apolitical and answered to whomever was CIC. He did vote for McCain, but he said he didn’t think it would make much difference if Obama got elected. He was wrong and now he’s unhappy with Obama so he’s retiring. DADT did it.
