"Until recently, the military has been a stalwart source of support for Republican hopeful Ron Paul. But in March, it was Obama that scooped up the most support from the armed forces." Poor Romney. (www.opensecrets.org)

Let's give Obama a little credit. He fricking dispatched bin laden. -- nm - con_carne Apr 25, 08:10
Just as interesting - the Republican candidate who gets the most support is the one who talks most about America no longer being the world's policeman -- nm - Roger More Apr 25, 08:01 2
- Thinking about this a little more - I suspect this has more to do with both Paul and Obama running grassroots campaigns - compared to Romney, Gingrich - Roger More Apr 25, 08:30 1
  - Anecdotal "evidence" only, but the military members that I know that support Paul support his domestic policy moreso than his foreign policy. - Stephen Apr 25, 08:41
