Which one are you referring to?

The one that says that the pundits who ALL make over 250k a year will continue to insist that Obama will raise everyones taxes, or the one that points out that Hillary's menopausal minions are *goshdarn* crazy and bitter?

It's a meaningless statistic.

MOST campaign donations would come from the Mrs. or Mr. watching the homefront.

My guess: Active duty leans 2/3 to 3/4 Republican.

Obama got $60,642 from 134 troops there, compared to McCain's $10,665 from 26 troops -- a 6-to-1 edge.

maybe i trust the media too much, but it says from troops there, i'll take it at face value.

It's not about 'Trusting'. I have no doubt that the numbers are real.

It's about being able to think critically about what you just read:

That's 160 troops donating to anyone out of 140,000 (more or less). < .02 percent, and less than .01 pct are donating to Obama.

It's a number so low as to be meaningless....

Jeebus!  They're giving these clowns 455, and 410 bucks??!!  That's my car payment.

" 'Bama...Love you buddy.  Wish all the luck in the world.  I'll give you a beer, but I ain't givin' you no 400 bucks."
