« Schererville? | Main | The Sad Fate of the Comma » July 16, 2007Support From Our TroopsOn the Right, we have the punditerati who say we should defer to our troops. On the Left, the Washington Monthly says playing to them is fruitless. How then are we to interpret the answer to Democracy in America's little poser? "Guess which Republican presidential candidate has received the most donations from members of the military and veterans." Update: Another key constituency. Posted by Zach Wendling at July 16, 2007 08:40 PM CommentsIf I'm an editor at XYZ Mainstream Media Outlet, this kind of stuff is a gold mine of stories that readers would find interesting. Its lack of coverage baffles me. Posted by: Joshua Claybourn at July 16, 2007 10:59 PM | permalink Yes, the lack of coverage baffles me too, since this looks real close to the Texas National Guard Story, you would think the MSM would jump all over this. Posted by: John at July 16, 2007 11:58 PM | permalink For what it's worth, the zero for Thompson is because as an undeclared candidate, he didn't have to file any report. Not that I think he would have beaten Paul's donations from the military. Posted by: Eric Seymour at July 17, 2007 08:57 AM | permalink Posted by: Matthew at July 17, 2007 11:08 AM | permalink According to the latest AP poll, "none of the above" is the most popular choice among Republicans for the nomination, when faced with a choice of Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, John McCain or Mitt Romney. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070717/ap_on_el_pr/presidential_race_ap_poll_1 Looks like there's a pretty serious opportunity for an alternative candidate like Paul.
