Yah, that will go down well at Camp Pendleton too. And among the uber patriotic Hispanic voting bloc, and large percentage of which voted for Bush in 2000. Especially when they look at what Obama's position is on Mexico & immigration, and what McCain's is.

Another thing that bothers me is that Obama has no real ties to military families. He can't win in November without reaching out to them, and reassuring him that their service hasn't been in vain (even though I personally believe it was a complete sham).

McCain comes off as calm, modest, humble, and knows how to work connections to people who vote in EVERY election, not just the lemming designer voters who won't go to the polls unless they have a rock star candidate to support.

Problem with relying on the so-called "youth" vote or "campus" vote is, most of those kids have to vote by absentee ballot, which is something most of them never quite get around to doing...

The over 50 brigade, OTOH...
