The troops, the war, the vote
Do you think the troops that fought in the new Iraq war and the troops currently stationed there will effect the 2004 presidential election? I personally am not sure. I think the military in general tend to be republican. But being stuck in a long rotation in Iraq, and the low moral at times might swing the vote against Bush. Morale went up when Sadaam was caught but the election is way off and the high they had for having him caught will be gone. I guess it all depends if they shorten the rotation, less people get killed, and if anyone else big is caught around election time. I still think Bush will get half the troop vote if not more but I think he will lose more than if we hadn't gone to war.
