#5  See, #3, according to the Euros nothing is legitimate unless everyone agrees to it. Of course, "everyone" doesn't include Americans, or conservatives ... but on the other hand, no one has to ABIDE by their agreements, just make them.

For the shining example to follow and live by see: Brussels, EU etc.

#4  The Iraqis are about to learn the best part of democracy...you can lose an election and not be summarily shot by the victors. In fact, you can lose an election and get even more face time on US teevee and call the winning team big fat liars...and be taken seriously.

#3  You know, I never got it.

If the Sunni's don't show up to vote, then how is it illegitimate? If they don't vote, they lose power.

I hope this backfires on the Sunni's.

#2  Yes, and in case you haven't got the message from the MSM, low voter turnout in the Sunni areas could UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMACY OF THE ELECTION RESULTS. At least that's what the MSM is hoping. I stress the word "could", an important word in any MSM "factual" analysis, which specializes in worst-worst case scenarios.

#1  Yet voter turn out could be blunted by the release of the new book- "Swift bomb terrorists for piss and blasting be upon you infidel democracy is evil how miny times I gotta tellya" . The book is a bombshell attack on the notion of freedom, liberty, and government by the consent of the people, and includes a forward by Peggy Noonan. The indictment of democratic government is expected to be the source of low voterturnout in an election that won't happen until Sunday and is also said to be a source of recent evidence of pessimism and apathy about the as yet unoccurred elections to many experts in the MainStreamCreepia. further exasserbating the decision making process of doom and gloomers everywhere blah blah blah etc etc
