It doesn't surprise me that there is strong support for McCain in the military since he was a military man himself. Still, the poll is also from early August. Wasn't McCain neck and neck with Obama at that point?

I like the idea. Every country has the leadership it deserves, especially USA who votes for it. So why not a third term?So get your Naomi Klein books and move it or I'll seriously bash your faces in! - Supercitizen to stupid students

I'd love to examine the methodology of your source on that. Sounds more like expatriates and State Dept. employees than any viable cross-section of deployed military, especially considering the latter are pretty tough to cold-call.
It's natural that if you are someone who has really bought into the mission (leaving aside exactly what the mission is at this point) and have risked your life to carry it out that one might react to any criticism of the mission with hostility. If you think it was a good call and are dedicated to winning (again, leaving aside what "winning" means), hearing someone describe it as "a stupid war" might piss you off, whereas someone repeating his committment to "victory" might give you the warm fuzzies (especially if he has the ability to distance himself from the mistakes in execution that were made - and McCain can).
Having read the article Seedle posted, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the author voted McCain (which is to say that poll data showing a 3-1 advantage to McCain =! the military loves Bush. Yes, I know this logic means McCain =! Bush). The author of that article is pissed b/c he doesn't think the civilian USA "bought in" to the Iraq war. I think he's right. Further, I think he's got a point about a discussion of the draft forcing serious debate over our interventionist foreign policy.

Karl Rove has successfully stolen the last two elections for Bush. Although Bush isn't running, Rove now works for McCain. Don't be surprised if this election too falls into serious legal disputes about ballot-handling. However, a landslide would end that disruption and maybe let us get beyond slanderous politics.

I've read that before, but I fail to see how "a private conversation" and a third party's report of subsequent "informal advising" mean he "works" for McCain. BP was trying to analogize with his role under Bush, which doesn't jive with the facts.
I find it funny that BP blames Rove for ballot mishandling too, as if he had that kind of clout. The guy's just a poll-analysis geek, not some all-powerful mastermind. That's Cheney's job.
