Good one BG. Bruce Catton wrote that Lincoln won re-election because the veterans saw the war must be won, and even though they loved MacClellan, they knew for the good of the country that the war must be fought and won, so they voted for Lincoln. The Military Vote.

that's a neat piece of info to share, especially after our mini-gabfest about the military vote. i'm still hoping they'll tip virginia. how much of a factor will they be in this election, i wonder? watching michael steele now. drill, baby, drill! here comes mitt...

If history is an indicator, allow me to point out that it was the military in Virginia that was causing Lincoln's problems. HaHaHa!

dave mentioned mcclellan. he was a great union general, he's bull run, right? it sounds like the military vote made some real nightmares for him, too.
