[Peace-discuss] RP and B.O. get much more in overseas military contributions than John McWar

[E. Wayne Johnson]

According to an analysis of campaign contributions by the nonpartisan 
Center for Responsive Politics,
Democrat Barack Obama 
<http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/summary.php?cid=N00009638&cycle=2008> 
has received nearly six times as much money from troops deployed overseas
at the time of their contributions than has Republican John McCain 
<http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/summary.php?cid=N00006424&cycle=2008>, /and 
the fiercely anti-war Ron Paul 
<http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/summary.php?cid=N00005906&cycle=2008>,
though he suspended his campaign for the Republican nomination months ago,
has received more than four times McCain's haul./..
