Iraqis estimate over 70% turnout

More than 70% of Iraqi voters may have taken part in Thursday’s parliamentary election, Iraqi electoral officials have said.

Election commission spokesman Farid Ayar said first estimates show that between 10 and 11 million Iraqis cast their ballot.

Counting is under way after the landmark vote but results are not expected for at least two weeks. (more…)

Meanwhile…

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said yesterday that Democrats should not seek a unified position on an exit strategy in Iraq, calling the war a matter of individual conscience and saying differing positions within the caucus are a source of strength for the party.

Pelosi said Democrats will produce an issue agenda for the 2006 elections but it will not include a position on Iraq. There is consensus within the party that President Bush has mismanaged the war and that a new course is needed, but House Democrats should be free to take individual positions, she said. (more…)

In other words, agree to disagree with Bush.

But what about offering up some real solutions?

Well, that depends on the polls.
