Time constraints, lack of campaign funds and organization, along with contending with well established incumbents naturally winnowed the Democratic, Iraq and Afghanistan veteran candidates substantially. And few garnered anywhere near the national attention like <a href="http://www.duckworthforcongress.com/" rel="nofollow">Tammy Duckworth </a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Hackett" rel="nofollow"> Paul Hackett</a>. However, and as I stated, <b>the majority of those war veteran candidates who ran in the last election, <i>ran</i> on the Democratic ticket. </b> Rather than now researching and listing all the Iraq vets running on the Democratic ticket in the last election, I refer you to this <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0222/p01s03-uspo.html#note" rel="nofollow"> CSM article</a> of last year's election. They claim 50 did! Do you know any Iraq/Afganistan vets other than Van Taylor, who ran on the GOP's ticket? I would be interested to know. 50 to 1 Democratic to Republican vets sounds excessive, even to this ol' liberal. #26 Babs – Unfortunately, “running” for political office and “being elected” to political office are entirely separate realities.

And is it not curious that so many with former combat experience in Iraq run for office on the Democratic ticket rather than the GOP’s? You lost me here. I am not willing to concede that "so many with former combat experience in Iraq run for office on the Democratic ticket rather than the GOP’s." I know of only a few that have served in Iraq and are now politicians. I think your claim is specious. It is when they shed the uniform that they can and many do, speak out.
