Interesting stats. If the Sunnis ever decided to crack down imagine how low they'd drop.

The Dems and the MSM will have a tough morning tomorrow. The terrorists really let them down today.

...I've read accounts of how they jubilantly flashed their 'purple fingers' and it has moved me to tears! ...

The picture of the people who brought their children to vote with them is stunning. Even with the fear of bombs, they brought their childen. Amazing.

What a terrible time to be a rat.

The only way the MSM would be interested in this major news is if exit polls showed Kerry in the lead.

The disaster they've been cheering for to occur for the last few months never happened. To people with a brain, it makes them look bad. Good.

The New York Times would have called the battle of Trenton "a pointless attack by a incompetent Virginia farmer."

However they did cut the power for a time so the MSM will question the results.

And this isn't news coming from Baghdad Bob!

And it isn't coming from CNN or PMSNBC either. Their coverage today was abysmal.

"It's almost a non-event on MSM."

Actually, I'm surprised at the play this is getting:

WaPo: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/15/AR2005101500469.html

Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-5346267,00.html

ABC [Australia]: http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200510/s1483199.htm

USA Today: http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2005-10-15-iraq-referendum_x.htm

All these links came from Google news:
http://news.google.com/

I'm sure all the ANSWER, moveon and Code Pinko freaks are saddened :)

Just today?

The last good coverage of Baghdad by CNN was when their news correspondence was from the top of a hotel back in '91.

One of those reporters of the news has since been fired.

Still one of the funniest South Park episodes of all time was the one when they made fun of the Florida recount.

It's tough to change a dogma so entrenched as this one.

After all, without sadness and despair where would the Dem's place their focus?

I'm not sure, now that praying for U.S. defeat hasn't paid off.

LoL!

They will find a way after all their politics dictate self preservation above country so whatever it takes politically, they will pursue preservation.
