1. Hi Stephanie

The Stars and Stripes newspaper hasn't printed a word of how the vote went inre: military.

My sense is that the Marines were pro-Bush, based on discussions with some. I couldn't say for the rest of the armed forces.

2. I think the Bush administration wants to keep the Military vote quiet.

It would be devistating to this Administration if the Military vote went for Kerry. If the vote was in favor of Kerry that would single handedly undermine everything this administration has preached for 4 years.

3. in 2000 the media couldn't shut up about it

so it makes me wonder if the military voted for Kerry?

4. I posted this in another thread, but...

I think Kerry must have won the military vote - otherwise, Rove and company would be boasting about * winning the military vote.

"Why doesn't bushco lie about winning the military vote? They lie about everything else." you might ask.

The answer is that they don't want soldiers openly questioning each other about who won the election and who voted for whom. I think an honest show of hands in any unit in any military unit would show who won the election - bushco doesn't want soldiers questioning the election results and the admin can't handle another crisis of morale.
