I was watching CNN election coverage and their informal poll showed Kerry having a surprising number of votes among soldiers stationed in Iraq.
Isn't the military almost completely republican, by tradition?
The other thing that surprised me was how few soldiers said they intended to vote. I would have thought roughly 100% would vote but it would seem to be closer to 25%, according to that particular news segment.
I'm sure that the Canadian News Network is presenting the story and data in they way that they want you to interpert it. I would suspect that both of the percentage of soldiers that vote republiccan and the percentage total that vote are both higher than the US populations as a whole.
