Iraqi elections today, and what to expect

Once again, my favorite journalist has agreat article on the expected outcome of the election.

The summary of the events, of course:
turnout is expected to be around 72% of eligible voters, and unexpectedly high numbers of people are voting in Falluja, Mosul, and other "sunni triangle" cities that are threatened with bloodbaths.

At least 27 people have been killed by suicide bombers and morters, but the voters are actually ignoring the violence, even in cases where it's close nough to rattle the windows of the polling stations.

Your Iraqi blogs:
Iraq the model
democracy in Iraq
Iraq election wire
The first two each have a hefty list of Iraqi blogs, so I won't crowd this page with more links.

Now, some Iraqi mainstream media-type sources:
Alsabaah
Azzaman
Iraq.net

There are plenty more blogs and internet news sources, and I am trying to find a good one that is on the other side of the political spectrum. That's hard, because Iraq doesn't care much about the political spectrum; Iraqis are voting almost entirely on safety.

What more is there to say? Got the link to the predicted election outcomes, optimism that the election will be successful, and some links to blogs and major news sources. I doubt that Iraq's neighbors will do much right now, there is too little time and too much risk for any election-day event.
Oh yes, some idiots in Spain are protesting. It's barely even worth mention, and I won't bother with a picture, because downloading the picture would waste more of your time than its worth.
