The Caller Was Wrong … but not by much

At the end of the show on Friday we got a call from man who’s buddy is a service member in Iraq. He claimed everyone in his friend’s unit was going to vote McCain. It came too late in the show for me to rebut the “everyone” and I would have. Good thing I didn’t. As it turns out … he wasn’t too far off.

Sen. John McCain enjoys overwhelming support from the military’s professional core, though race appears to be a decisive factor for career-oriented black service members, a Military Times survey of nearly 4,300 readers indicates.

McCain, R-Ariz., handily defeated Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., 68 percent to 23 percent in a voluntary survey of 4,293 active-duty, National Guard and reserve subscribers and former subscribers to Army Times, Navy Times, Marine Corps Times and Air Force Times.

Here’s the relevant portion of the call.
