Republicans Should Take Note

Not that I've been following the news closely, but I don't think this story from the Center for Responsive Politics is getting as much play as it should.

Democrat Barack Obama has received nearly six times as much money from troops deployed overseas at the time of their contributions than has Republican John McCain, and the fiercely anti-war Ron Paul, though he suspended his campaign for the Republican nomination months ago, has received more than four times McCain's haul.

Looks like it's not just liberals who support an early exit from Iraq.

Valiant Effort by Ron Paul Supporters Falls Short

Despite a late surge by Ron Paul, Barack Obama wins my virtual election 7-5. Thanks to all who voted, especially those who voted multiple times. One of the drawbacks to the single ballot is it doesn't allow voters to express strength of preference.
