Kerry and the Veterans

[KurtNilsen]

I noticed one interesting fact from the Wisconsin exit polls.

Kerry had no more support from veterans or veteran households than Edwards. What does that mean? Why doesn't his "band of brothers" flock to him? Particularly veterans who are democrats?

Added on edit: Kerry won both among veterans and non-veterans. He just did not to any better among the veteran grouping.

1. kerry won large majority of military in other states

in all the other states kerry won the majority of military. it's important especially states like virginia and south carolina with large military population.

3. He won them in Wisconsin as well...

Just did not do better among them than he did among non-veterans.

5. he also didn't campaign as much there

he took 2 days off to go home to boston after the virginia and tennessee primaries. edwards was campaigning all that time in wisconsin. and kerry also spend time to campaign in nevada which also held elections. edwards also spent much more money than kerry. kerry still kept his lead from the huge support from minorities.
