I don't know if that is necessarily good news for Bush. The longer the troops have to stay in that godforsaken place (Iraq) plus losing a soldier a day, just might backfire on Bush.

Kerry is a veterans rights champion and Silver Star winner. He'll get a nice fat share of military voters. Watch Kerry show off his aerobatics skills, marksmanship, REAL macho qualities and acute knowledge of military affairs,

Also, Bush's tax plans screw the low-income military, cut their education and health care benefits and raise state and local taxes on them. Bush has a quagmire in Iraq too, where troops are getting sniped and killed every day and there is no end in sight, not even a PLAN for an end.

If it gets worse, the "victory" Bush claimed will be completely wiped out. Bush also has never answered for going AWOL from the Air Guard and deserting for a year. Kerry will MAKE him answer for it.

Bob Graham is the most popular politician in Florida, winning 2-1 in every election. Jeb had to cheat to win by 10% against the little-known McBride by cutting 97,000 minority voters off the rolls. But he cannot use this trick again. Florida is definitely in play.

Hi Michael...At least that way, the Military votes won't get "misplaced" or left on some ship, or otherwise somehow don't arrive on time and thus not counted like what happened in 2000.

I see some of the "children" are making noises about the length of time in Iraq. We're now at 3 months from March 20...

How long did it take to rebuild Germany, and France?
