[NorCalRepub]

CNN was doing a timeline of PAST events that have taken place in Iraq.

That was not a current event.

Geraldo is doing Great!!!!

He just said how after Saddam's dictatorship, how this is "inconceivable." "extraordinary" "the dawn of a new day"

"The terrorists are going to lose".

Geraldo is totally inspiring. I'm really enjoying this!

Shepard Smith just reported other casulties at other locations.

"Casualties" doesn't necessarily mean deaths. There were, I think, 4 or 5 people injured in that explosion.

FOX News: Allawi is expected to vote shortly

[faithincowboys]

Me too. Geraldo is a trip. Love it.

The terrorist insurgents have already failed. Voters are turning up all over Iraq and saying a loud "NO!" to the Ba'athist thugs and Al Zarqawi's Al Qaeda goons. Just by standing in line waiting to cast the first vote in their lives in a free election.

In defiance of the insurgents/terrorists:

[FreeReign]

I cannot; just as I cannot imagine their glee with bombs going off now. What despicable souls they have.

Wouldn't it be something if the bomb bursts didn't deter the voters but instead increased the turnout.

[Allegra]

We’re going to be fine.

I was just outside having a smoke break (yeah, we have to go outside here, too…LOL) and heard another explosion that was rather close. Don’t have any details on that one yet.

It has clouded over outside, but as long as it doesn’t rain, people will go vote. Even if it does, I don’t think that will stop them. (We hate it when it rains because this place turns into a giant, slimy mud pit.)

[nicmarlo]

He was like this when our guys first went into Iraq...the very same, proud man of our military and what we were doing there. As enthusiastic, IMHO.

[Next_Time_NJ]

Geraldo Revia: its 1776 for Iraq!

I never thought i would say this about this man.. but what he said was perfect!

[saquin]

CNN reporting that over a hundred dead in bombs in Karbalah and Baghdad!

Ummm... not.

[A Citizen Reporter]

I heard the same report you did. I took it to mean that olling place 303 IS the Western Baghdad location, where the suicide bomber was stopped at the checkpoint, killing the policeman, who has been the ONLY casulty.....according to Shep.

[ClarenceThomasfan]

I wonder if President Bush is up watching the coverage. If so he must be proud.
