I'm so thrilled to wake up to this news. What a grand day. When I fell asleep around 5:00, MSNBC was showing empty polls and saying no one was showing up.

Of course, they didn't mention there were 30,000 OTHER polling places in Iraq that surely must have had lines and a lot of people show up if 72% of the eligible 14m voted.

Hey get this kristinn has posted something interesting over on the forum.

There is an Iraqi who registered his new party in the elections..

Tawfiq Abbas al-Bidari said that his party, Free Republic, had registered to participate in the governorate's election, only to find that it was not on the ballot today,

Free Republic.....LOL!

And I didn't even mention the photo the Times has up

Picture of young boys playing soccer in a main street.
Caption:
"Streets in Baghdad were closed to traffic but full of
children playing soccer."

Dowd's column on this should be an interesting read.
