Sykk I have my fair share of family who are Vietnam Vets. None of them threw their medals away, and none I know support Kerry. Those who threw their medals away, and were active in anti-war activities were in the minority.
Polling data shows a majority of Vets, including Vietnam Vets support Bush.
You mention the momentum like it is nothing. The momentum for Bush ( or against Kerry) started BEFORE the convention. Momentum and bounces are what conventions are about....
How high was Kerry's bonce??
So far it looks like the ghost of Lee Atwater is running the show.
He was a man who knew how to win elections!
