Could this decide the election? Econopundit This piece on Kerry and the armed services veterans' vote is okay as far as it goes, but there's one important detail left out. This is something I remember reading but, unfortunately, I can't find the documentation now. It is important, so anyone with sources or links please send them in. A then-unimportant information tidbit of one of those surveys of red/blue state differences involved what might be called "personal connection" with the armed services. In the blue states, it was highly unlikely any one individual either had a relative in the armed forces, knew someone in the armed forces, or knew someone with a relative in the armed forces. In the red states the situation is exactly reversed. Anyone was highly likely to either know someone who was serving, have a relative who was serving, or know someone with a relative who was serving. The degree of personal separation between blue state America and the armed forces was staggering. Big Media (largely concentrated in blue states, after all) has absolutely no clue as to the political implications of this important split. econopundit.com
