Military families increase support to Democrats

Where are military families putting their money when they decide to contribute to political campaigns? This article in the Boston Globe breaks down the numbers. http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2007/09/military_shifti.html

Military families usually give more to the Republicans. However, since the incredible bungling of this war by Bush, former House Intelligence Chair Pete Hoekstra, and others, military families are taking their dollars away from Republicans and giving them to Democrats. It is not surprising to see more of them supporting Obama than Clinton.

Obama Looking Strong, Romney Looking Rich

On September 30 the Obama campaign hit some landmark goals: more than 500,000 donations from more than 350,000 people.

The latest news from Iowa – Obama is leading in the latest Newsweek poll of likely caucus-goers. Here’s the breakdown:

Obama: 28%
Clinton: 24%
Edwards: 22%

The leader in Iowa gets a lot of press coverage and picks up momentum in the overall nomination process.

In other news Mitt Romney reported that he gave himself another $6,000,000 or $7,000.000 this quarter.

One candidate has unprecidented grassroots support from common people. Another candidate keeps writing himself checks trying to buy the election. This election should offer a clear choice to American voters.
