VETERANS DAY: John Kerry, a Vietnam vet who became an outspoken critic of the war, lost the veterans vote by a margin of 57%-41%. Obama, who never served, closed that margin against former POW John McCain, only losing by 10 points among vets.

This is really good news for Democrats. Remember the trend for Democrats getting more of the vets' votes started with Kerry. If Obama does a good job as CiC, then this trend will continue, which will be disasterous for the Republicans' supposed "national security" advantage.
