This poll is very interesting. While I think it's wonderful to see a Kerry/McCain ticket at 53% to 39% over Bush/Cheney, I find it puzzling why vets are 54% to 41% in favor of Bush over Kerry, and yet Kerry with McCain brings the veteran vote to a 50/50 tie vs. Bush. If McCain means that much to fellow vets, why doesn't another fellow vet -- Kerry? Apparently vets do not align themselves with Kerry or that the majority are simply diehard Republicans (the more likely of the two reasons). Kerry alone leads Bush by 8%, but if Kerry adds John Edwards to the ticket he then leads Bush by 10%, and interestingly the Edwards addition helps Kerry close the vet gap (why should it?).
