Myers Says 85 Percent of Iraqis Likely to Vote in October

WASHINGTON, June 1, 2005 – Some 85 percent of Iraqis said they will vote in October elections to ratify a new constitution in October, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said at a Pentagon news conference today, citing recent polling data.

I wonder how long it will take the national media to pick up this story, if they do at all... What is in the headlines right now besides the usual gloom and doom? Deep Throat and Tom Cruise.

Leaving aside Cruise for a second...

After the election, liberals seemed to think they lost because of values voters. I wonder if the Democrats keep losing because they are simply so stuck in the past. Conservatives are supposed to look back on the past with fondness but it is the liberals who are nostalgic for the old days.

During the election, a number of pundits noted that the Kerry campaign seemed awfully fixated on Vietnam.

Now, our top news story is about the scandals of the Nixon administration. The boomers just don't want to let go.
