The report tracked donations of $200 or more. It found that 859 members of the military donated a total of $335,536 to Obama. McCain received $280,513 from 558 military donors. Among soldiers serving overseas at the time of their donations, 134 gave a total of $60,642 to Obama while 26 gave a total of $10,665 to McCain. That was less than the amount received by Republican Ron Paul, who collected $45,512 from 99 soldiers serving abroad, the report said. We've seen this bogus "study" already. It goes through Jun 30, which covers the period before McCain was chosen as the Republican candidate. There are many other problems with the so-called study, however, the overriding factor is that it was not, as suggested, "non-partisan", rather, it was a blatant attempt to mis-state the facts.
