Flap, I would be purely speculating on how they would vote. I am not black nor have I ever served in the military. We'll just see how the absentee vote stacks up. Needless to say, I feel great about Bush taking the absentee vote.

But, we'll just have to see.

It's been reported 100 times that the overseas absentee ballots from FL are typically REPUBLICAN VOTES...but keep practicing your gibberish in front of the mirror though...

Barger: I would bet serious coin that the black serviceman vote would pretty closely reflect the national average of 19 or 20 Gore supporters to every one Bush supporter. You also have the factor that Gore was a veteran and Bush was a weekend warrior/big-time fighter pilot thanks to daddy

Not necessarily. Fox commented that Dole took 53 or 54% of the overseas absentee ballots in 1996. Isn't that about 10% higher than what he polled state-wide (not trying to [edit] insinuate anything with this question, just don't know the exact answer).
