Despite John McCain's hefty military credentials and Barack Obama's lack thereof, the latter candidate has received six times as much money from troops deployed overseas than John McCain. Anti-war Ron Paul received four times the amount John McCain did. Looks like our men and women in Iraq aren't really trying to stick around for 100 years.

Despite McCain's status as a decorated veteran and a historically Republican bent among the military, members of the armed services overall — whether stationed overseas or at home — are also favoring Obama with their campaign contributions in 2008, by a $55,000 margin. Although 59 percent of federal contributions by military personnel has gone to Republicans this cycle, of money from the military to the presumed presidential nominees, 57 percent has gone to Obama.

As hard as McCain has been trying to push the narrative that Obama doesn't care about the troops, it looks like the troops don't care much about McCain. [TPM]
