111 choices.

[trof]

The number of parties/coalitions/people to be listed on the Iraqi ballot.
The Iraqi voter gets to choose ONE.
Sounds just a little overwhelming to me.

Question: Will voters be allowed to take a dart into the voting booth?
Will the science(?) of numerology play an important part in this election?

1. Are they serious? Sounds like a bad joke to me! n/t

2. Just stated on c-span.

By Noah Feldman, a Bush* stooge who has worked to bring about this "election".

4. With that many choices, nobody wins. Duh, guess that must be the

plan, huh? And old Noah was actually proud enough to announce this on c-span? LOL plus tax.

3. I read yesterday that most of their choices are unknown

until they get to the booth. No campaigns, no debates on issues. I knew it would all be bullshit. No one knows it more than the Iraqis. 111 choices is to make sure there is enough confusion to select their new puppet.

5. Yep, that's the other kicker.

They'll have no idea who's on the ballot until they see it.
Is an election with zero "informed" voters really an election?
Not in my mind.

6. That is NOT a democratic election.

If the people don't know the candidates and what the candidates stand for, it's a sham.

Obviously, OUR GUY will be the only one anyone has heard of, so even if he garners only 15% of the vote, that'll beat the 1% or so everyone else will get by random selection.

This fake election is being held so that B* can put a big shiny bow on top of the crap pile that is Iraq. "We brought democracy to Iraq!" Nevermind that they're fake elections, that B* has killed about as many people in Iraq as the tsunami did in all of southeast asia, nevermind the maimed and dead American soldiers...
