The sKerry Draft
Vernon Dozier, a commenter at No Left Turns, brings up the relative likelihoods of a draft under Bush or under the Poodle, and which would be more likely. Of course he is correct that only involuntary conscription could keep up the Armed Forces under a much despised Kedwards as Commander -in-Chief. The percentage of expired enlistments and resignations would be at least 30-50%:

Bush is very popular among current military personnel (he stands to get 75% to 80% of the military vote), and the various branches are currently meeting recruitment goals. In contrast, Kerry is reviled by about 95% of those who served directly with him because he pissed all over them with false accusations of atrocities merely to promote his own political ambitions. Who the hell would volunteer to serve under such a commander in chief?
