"But what are the exit polls showing??? Exit polls indicate some guy named Mohammad is winning. Most people voted for some guy named Mohammad. so, it looks like Mohammad won. The problem will be when 7,000 guys named Mohammad show up saying they were elected...."

Laugh...of...the...night!

I dozed off and woke up a bit. Looks like things are going pretty well so far.

Things are going better...I was a bit nervous at the start, but the Iraqi's are voting (bless their courage).

Geraldo's been pretty good. His unvarnished thrill over the turnout and his calling this Iraq's 1776 is wonderful to see.

LMAO

"But what are the exit polls showing???"

Omar Kerry's ahead by a comfortable margin.

Well, she is a stand-up lady. She went to Nam to perform for the troops many times. She is the un-Dixie Chick. I think she's pretty cool.

"what do you think will be the dem talking points tomorrow if things keep up at this rate?"

That the heavy turnout is an indication that the Iraqi people believe that voting will cause the 'occupiers" to leave sooner.

All the scenes have been so uplifting and hopeful. I can't wait to hear how underwhelmed the Rats are on the morning talk shows .. LOL .. they'll have a rebuttal for every positive thing we're seeing right now. It will choke them to say anything positive that could make Bush look right. It's gonna be better than the Comedy Channel.

But they will NOT carry the day .. the honest reporting of this event will! Man's natural yearning for freedom will not be squelched! Hallelujah and praise the Lord for this day!

"and that is AFTER Christianna has made herself up...."

That reads like a punchline to a joke that begins "So this camel backed into a bar..."

[txhurl]

That's because he's Gloria Vanderbilt's son.

Baghdad Bob reports that Mohammed Al-Gore is the projected winner... and he also announced that the polls just closed an hour ago so don't bother to show up.

Good night!

Explosion in Basra, Zaraqwawi gonna try to incite the Shiites....

[faithincowboys]

This is a brave woman who desperately wants her country to be a better place. This is courage, not the craven politics of the garbage Left.

Good luck getting those sappy songs out of your head! (but "bless her heart"...)

[SlowBoat407]
