Terry McAuliffe will come out and say "Chris, this is a great day for the Iraqis as they reject the failed policies of the Bush Administration...Bill Clinton gave us the greatest economy in history....blah blah blah"

[mainepatsfan]

That's about as relevant as how many yards a football team gains in one game as opposed to the amount of points they scored.

[xzins]

I hadn't thought of they naysayer's shock, given their expectations of disaster.... EXCELLENT point you make!


Shock and Awe!

[No Blue States]

Not only did they walk, but some walked by gutters running with blood for their chance to vote.

While at risk of increasing that flow with their own I might add.

I couldnt be more impressed with Iraqis. :)

[mainepatsfan]

Kind of late aren't they?

[xzins]

Awesome, isn't it?

[mylife]

Do we have any early polling results yet?

[nicmarlo]

Jesse Jacks on Fox starts here

[TN4Liberty]

I believe you. Like someone said, the difference in reality and fiction is fiction has to make some sense. Why anyone listens to Jesse anymore is beyond me.

Thanks.

[mainepatsfan]

I'll go check Zogby...uh, never mind.

[Maigrey]

When I first posted it, I first thought of "Broken Glass voter" but in this case, it would be, "War Zone voter"

[No Blue States]

Do we have any early polling results yet?

Ive read it will take 7-10 days to know the outcome. Not surprising considering the circumstances.

[CAluvdubya]

Do we have any early polling results yet?

Woth repeating......Yeah, the dims lost again! LOL

[BluH2o]

I understand that Chris Matthews was supposed to air a 6pm special today on the Iraqi election, but has had to postpone it because all his scheduled guests and his schtick was set up to rub the bad news in Bush's face........

Meanwhile, Prozac sales, that had enjoyed a spike in November are again flying off pharmacy shelves ... liberals return to their deep funk.

You know it just had to kill him seeing Bush getting sworn in for the second time.

The list of the haters watching President Bush being sworn in is way to long to list. Who cares...middle America spoke loud and clear. Thank God for Americans who have the GUTS to free the people throughout the world. ;o)

Way to go Iraqis' for voting even though you could have been killed.
