I mean, we know there is no evidence that Bush did get favorable treatment, but let's say for a second that he did.

Of course, you are right onto what should be the main point here.

George Bush 1968 is not running against John Kerry 1968.

Were there draft-eligible 18-20 year olds in 1968 that were sons of Congressmen or Senators who did NOT get special treatment?

Of course not.

Is there evidence that George W. Bush abused his status, or got something that fate wasn't sending his way?

No, there isn't.

The vote is George Bush 2004 vs. John Kerry 2004-and it isn't even close.

sons of Congressmen or Senators

I was in SEA in 1968. Somehow a rumor started in my unit that my father was a US Senator.
The only "special" treatment I got, was ass chewings when I deserved them,
and promotions when I deserved those.
