John Kerry won't win because of a major voting bloc that is being completely ignored by the media--THE MILITARY!

President Bush will be re-elected because his Troops support him. That's good enough for me.

In my opinion all Republican adds should say only onething: The Terrorist and the American Communist Party have endorsed John Kerry. Does that make you feel safe?

We are a military family. For the first time all of our children have voted and voted for President Bush. The Military does not want a repeat of the Clinton years.

Mark Steyn on a roll: Read his lips: No new crutches. Now that’s a campaign promise. President Kerry may be paralysed by nuance, but no one else will be. The healing balm of the Massachusetts Messiah will bring the crippled and stricken to their feet, which is more than Kerry’s speeches ever do. Just because he can’t choose his water doesn’t mean he can’t walk on it.

That is true if the Military votes get counted. If I recall correctly they weren't counted very well in 2000.

Why Steyn isn't on the GOP payroll and not one of President Bush's Debate coaches is a mortal sin....no disrespect to Catholics anywhere.

Each Navy (we're a Navy family) Command was told to begin work on this over a year ago. There has been a huge voter registration effort on behalf of our military to save the American people from John Kerry.

When President Bush is re-elected, he and the rest of us will have to thank the military from saving us from our fellow "brain dead" citizens.

God I hope Steyn is correct, but the clueless seem so willfully clueless.

Neither does my family.

The military--all racial backgrounds--are very pro-Republican anyways. Our neighbor has registered up to 60 of his guys and gals to vote. They were all voting for President Bush. They sent their absentee ballots in about 4 weeks ago before they deploy sometime today.

Another Steyn home run. The man has a more clear-eyed view of this contest than most Americans.

His prose is as brilliant, if not as biting, as Ann Coulters.

"His prose is as brilliant...."

Often when I read an article, I try to pick out something particularly good to highlight and share by repeating. With Steyn, I would have to copy the entire piece.

Man than is the most insightful analysis i have ever read. You are absolutely right! When GWB has 75% support from the military during wartime it says it all, everything else you hear is spin from the MSM. There is a disdain for all things military from the MSM and this statistic goes unreported for the simple reason that if Joe six pack figures that the military supports W and America is at war than he would support W as well, hell if those doing the fighting are going to support this man why shouldn't i???

We are Navy too. You are right the voting officers have been really going at it. How can you go out and put your life on the line every day for your country and then not take advantage of the freedoms that you have just fought for? Go Navy
