1. This is excellent ....
.... they are losing vast numbers of previous supporters in the military. I was talking to a friend of mine in the military who HATED Clinton and voted for Bush. He said the tide is really starting to turn on Bush. I asked him what he thought of Bush's little trip. He laughed, pretty bitterly, and said a lot of the guys had nicknamed Bush "Photo-Op". He told me the PR stunt probably played well with non-military types but a lot of the military saw it as another event in a long line which Bush plays dress up and uses the military for political purposes.

This guy said he would not vote again for Bush. I asked him if he could vote for a Democrat and he sighed and said he could vote for Kerry or Clark since they served. He said a lot of people in the military are saying we need someone who has "walked the walk" since not many people in the military liked Clinton, and not many like Bush now.
