Polls Close in Historic Iraqi Elections
BAGHDAD, Iraq — The polls in Iraq have closed, ending the country's first open elections in more than 50 years and setting a course for what U.S. officials hope will be a long democratic future.
All around the country, Iraqis defied threats of violence and cast their votes. An initial estimate of turnout from the Independent Electoral Commission indicated that 72 percent of eligible Iraqi voters had turned out to cast their ballots.
72%? Hell Ty, what'll it be once it's ready for democracy?

Fox news just broke in to football coverage and says 60%, which still isn't too bad.
But I like how the President waited until the full football audience was tuned in to take over the airwaves. The downside for him is that all of Philadelphia now wants him dead.
eta: I am clearly totally out of it.
