Mitt's really bad day

This made me ask the question, how many average US soildiers fit into Romney's 47%?

And regardless of cause, early military absentee voting requests is way down from 2008' numbers. Across the larger population this also appears to hold true. Case in point:

The number of absentee ballot applications is down by nearly half from 2008. In 2008, election officials had received 37,539 applications compared to 20,695 in 2012, or 45 percent fewer applications. The number of applications from registered Republicans is down more than Democrats, which are also down. The percentage of registered Republicans declined by 55 percent while the percentage of registered Democrats declined 35 percent. Thus registered Republicans composed 51 percent of the earliest absentee ballot applications in 2008 and 42 percent in 2012.

But how this plays out, we'll know 5 weeks from today.
