Well, guess another talking point is sacrificed to reality.
I noticed some of the pundits were trying to create controversy about those never in Iraq being given the right to vote. Looks as though their right to vote is giving the Iraqi's IN Iraq courage. Amazing.
The spoilers are out in force. I think it is interesting that, while the President of the United States is the most powerful leader in the world, not for the least of reasons being that he has the most magnificent military the world has ever known at his disposal, the real power that he wields is in his ideas.
Hindsight is 20/20. I can see NOW why absentee voting was scheduled a day ahead of in-country voting.
This contagious optimism was part of the plan, I bet.
