WASHINGTON – U.S. soldiers have donated more presidential campaign money to Democrat Barack Obama than to Republican John McCain, a reversal of previous campaigns in which military donations tended to favor GOP White House hopefuls, according to a nonpartisan group.
Troops serving abroad have given more than five times as much money to Obama’s presidential campaign as they have to McCain’s, the Center for Responsive Politics said.
