#1 I love that image. It captures so many aspects of the event, and her eyes aren't conveying some imaginary grudge or complaint - they emote joy. Fox is using this as the signature image of the election, as well.

The UN guy (can't recall his name at the moment) is waxing ecstatic about the way the election came off. Gee, ya think that means Kofi & Co will have to *gasp* admit it was "legitimate"? Is Ethel standing by with your pills?

Lol! If the wankers want to know, I suggest they ask the Lady in Black.

#2 I also like it because it reflects the changes that are occuring in this society. She's got relatively traditional dress, but it sure looks like lipstick to me and the V sign may now be universal, but we all know who made it famous. And I see not just joy but the quiet confidence and satisfaction of those who know they will prevail.

#6 Im a donk and this is exactly the good news ive been looking for. This is a triumph for Iraq, for democracy, and for the American military - this is NOT a partisan victory for one American political party or the other

#7 Unfortuanately, LH, your opinion is in the minority in the opposition, or at least the vocal minority. Too many Democrats define their success as Bush's failure not the country's success. It is part of their descent into minority and then marginality. Whether they can rebound is the question of the hour.

#8 Can we borrow some of the Iraqi poll-watchers in 2006 in Washington and Wisconsin?
