Ben Smith has an important caveat regarding those military donations to Barack Obama.
The Obama campaign announced today that it has 2 million individual donors, which is likely many times more than the McCain campaign has. So I suspect Obama outnumbers McCain in every single demographic: soldiers and civilians, but also old and young, and probably every ethnic group. The military contributions aren't necessarily a mark of having more supporters among the military -- but it is a sign of how much more motivated Obama's supporters are.That's probably true. But it's also probably true that said enthusiasm will have an effect on whether people actually go out and vote or not, which on election day, is all that really matters.
