    "Let's bring the troops home, asap." 
 
ASAP is as soon as Iraq is stable, correct? Then I agree.

    Is CNN's coverage tolerable? FOX has irritated me. My main interest is seeing the Iraqi's vote, could care less about FOX's talking heads.

    Voters are also electing governorate assemblies. In Kurdistan voters are also choosing a regional parliament on the same day. This in addition to a vote cast for a party list to the national legislature. Hence the double ballot.

    It appears that the women are outnumbering the men at the polling places.

    Interesting CNN poll results:
  
 Do you believe Sunday's elections will lead to a democratic Iraq?
  
 Yes 34% 41118 votes
  
 No 66% 81546 votes
 Total: 122664 votes

    Scarborough just said that there was an explosion in Basra... 
 
 
Here's a scenario for you: 
 
There is big turnout at polling places in Basra, the Sunni Arab stringers with Reuters and BBC and UPI and Ap etc, are gathering intel and getting it out to the insurgency telling them where to strike. I really don't think that is too far fetched. 
 
The media coverage is actually aiding the insurgency.. "journalists" are potentially passively and actively transmitting useful intelligece to the insurgency. 
 
For crying out loud....

    Your ridiculous spelling and grammar are incongruous with your pointed tagline.
