Major Bob on FOX!
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!
