Well, it seems to me that the Shiite faction most likely to come out on top isn't anti-American.
Al-Sistani, for example, is no friend of Iran...
I would predict though, that after the election, the new Iraqi government will have the perceived authority to deal with the Baathists, Jihadis, Syrians, and Iranians in country, and will deal with them harshly.

Anti-American?
No, they won't be anti-American.
But cool towards the US nevertheless.
They will be happy to have the US there while they solidify their power, but they will make it pretty clear, starting early, that they are in fact the sovereign government of Iraq and call the shots there, not us.
