When the insurgency continues post-election, will it be the dems fault?
What a silly question. Of course it will be.

It's Teddy Kennedy's fault that those three Marines were killed today.

Allawi told the insurgents that it was all over for them after the election, but they must have taken heart from something some Democrat must have said.

2. We'll have to wait and see
If Bush holds to form.The election I'll have to admit went pretty well,but as in the past the Bushies can only see one problem at a time,They have no plan for what happens now and the good things that happened in the election will be washed away by their myopic view of the problem.

Then yeah, I suppose it went pretty well.

4. Well I think it went better than I expected.
We have to learn to admit sometimes the things repugs try work ok.We keep fighting fights that did not go our way.we need to move onto the next fight.Saying the election was not a success is not going to help us out at all.alot of Iraqis risked their lives to vote,we have 30%of Americans who won't get off their fat asses to vote.You may not like it,but it's a fact.

5. I'm not saying it wasn't a success, I'm saying it wasn't an election
1) Imposed by a foreign invader.

2) Under rules set up by a foreign viceroy.

3) Among candidates approved by the foreign occupier.


I concur with Gorbachev's assessment. What took place yesterday was a fake election.
