Sen. John McCain enjoys overwhelming support from the military’s professional core, though race appears to be a decisive factor for career-oriented black service members, a Military Times survey of nearly 4,300 readers indicates.
McCain, R-Ariz., handily defeated Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., 68 percent to 23 percent in a voluntary survey of 4,293 active-duty, National Guard and reserve subscribers and former subscribers to Army Times, Navy Times, Marine Corps Times and Air Force Times.
Officers and enlisted troops, active-duty members and reservists, those who have served in combat and those who haven’t, all backed McCain by large margins, to about the same extent they supported President Bush four years ago.
About 69 percent of respondents said they voted for Bush in 2004, while about 16 percent voted for the Democratic nominee, Sen. John Kerry.
McCain’s majority wanes among women and disappears altogether among black respondents.
Nearly eight out of 10 black service members indicated they intend to vote for Obama despite his lack of military service and despite McCain’s record as a naval aviator and prisoner of war in Vietnam.
No, really? They know a poser when they see one coming.
Not a poll of military members, per se, but a poll of subscribers to the Military Times publications.
If someone has a paid subscription to the Army Times or Solider of Fortune magazine, you can pretty much rest assured they are hardcore conservatives, since the vast majority of servicemembers are not paid subscribers to the Military Times (since you can find free copies almost anywhere on a military installation).

If this is so, why is Obama receiving so much in donations from the Military? Why are so many people willing to lie to attempt to degrade Obama? Why are so many afraid to move from the terrible Bush/McCain/Cheney/Rove years?
McCain was a hero, but when a hero will sells his soul to win a Presidential Election, what does that make him now?
Obama leads McCain in contributions from active duty military 6-1.
Quote:
A former West Point professor, Jason Dempsey, noted that the small set of contributions from deployed troops at this point in 2008 -- just 323 donations -- should not be extrapolated to form conclusions about military personnel overall.
Great charts, they are telling. Even when they know right from wrong in the military, blacks simply cannot help themselves.
