OMG, I hate the media. MSNBC just had Jim Maceda in Ramadi. He was going on and on about the fact that 30 minutes into the voting, only 1 civilian had voted so far in Ramadi (the other voters were all Iraqi Security Forces). He then, with an appropriately dour yet somehow gloating expression, intoned "ONE voter, in a city with 250,00 eligible voters. I think that speaks a million words. Back to you."

Idiots! It's 7:30 am. The polls have been open for 30 minutes. Even not taking into account Allegra's info that Iraqis aren't early risers (and 7am is damn early, even for U.S. voters) what fool would rush out and vote as soon as the polls opened before waiting to see if there's violence?

Why do these mediots think they can extrapolate from how many voters there are by 7:30 AM?!?!? Give it a freakin' chance!

You know that early exit polling got the MSM in trouble in the last election they attempted to cover. Don't ya think they would have learned something from their mistake?

The guy that captured Hussein is on! Voted earlier.

Don't worry about the MSM and their friends in the party. The American people are seeing who they are and what they desire. It'll play out as it should.

And why should Maceda be glad that terrorists have scared the people so much that they can't go to the polls. Why is it that the victories of the insurgency are also victories for the Left. Jesus, they are so hateful. I really worry about them. They have allowed themselves to become groupies to fascist Islam. I suspect that isn't good for one's karma.
