Kuniholm still speaking. Not only are his words powerful, but there's an added aura of credibility from his prosthetic hand. Even though he's no longer in the Marines, he still has the 'high and tight' haircut, the trim physique, and the military bearing of a soldier. It's especially poignant at the moment, as he hammers the voting record of McCain, Dole and Burr. (According to Disabled Veterans of America, McCain has voted with veterans 20% of the time, Dole and Burr 60%, and Obama 80%).
"I urge you to pick a leader who will make better choices about these things. Marines don't get to pick our leaders...except for one: our Commander in Chief. If you want to thank me for my service, help me elect Barack Obama on November 4th."
With that, Kuniholm is done and the full-frontal assault on thc chili has begun. Cook-off winners will be announced soon.

Chaz -
Thanks for the kind words. The statistics on DAV votes with disabled vets are a little different than you cite--better for McCain (not much), worse for Burr and Dole (almost half), and better for Obama (a little).
I should post this myself, but if you're interested I can send you a graph of all of this, which is available here:
