Do you have any evidence to show that any other candidate has received more donations
from members of the military?
That's the question, not your hypothetical, 'small sample size' non-issue.
Given the authoritarian, hierarchical nature of the military -- and reporting on military issues,
as well -- most of the evidence is anecdotal. Troops overseas don't vote in primaries, they're
not available for exit polls, and they can't show up in uniform to express their support for
any candidate. Or they get censored. CNN shuts them down in mid-paragraph.
(Edit to add graphic, and disclaimer --------> Hey, I don't even want to think about having
to vote for Ron Paul, but 2 + 2 = 4. He has a legitimate constituency that is seriously
under-represented, and I think he deserves to be part of the national conversation on
our whole, woefully misguided 'war on terror.' Here's a graphic I just googled up....
it *is* from the Ron Paul website, but unless you have evidence to the contrary, I
think it is a valid indicator.)
