In the 2002 election cycle, the last full cycle before the war began, Democrats received a mere 23 percent of military members' contributions.* So far this year, 40 percent of military money has gone to Democrats for Congress and president...Barack Obama and Ron Paul are the top recipients of military money.

Among GOP candidates, Ron Paul, the only Republican who opposes the war, has brought in the biggest haul from the military since the start of the 2008 election cycle in January—at least $19,250.

This doesn't mean a whole lot. Ron Paul just has some libertarian type mailing lists that happen to have a lot of people in the military on them. A lot of people don't identify themselves as veterans so this is suggestive rather than pin point accuracy.

Good article. But from everything I've read Ron Paul is AHEAD of Obama!

http://phreadom.blogspot.com/2007/07/ron-paul-is-most-financially-military.html

Ron Paul was already at $24,965 among the military so how could he drop to $19,250? Or is this article not counting veterans? But if you take the vets out, Barak's support drops to $18,335.

I don't trust these results. The links they give you don't give you a way to add the numbers up yourself. However the "phreadom" blog link lets you do your own math.

Sure it does, it means as much as any other non scientific article out there. With a war going on it means even more.
