That didn't take very long
In the LA Times, page three (not today, sorry), a banner headline:
POSTELECTION OPTIMISM EBBING IN IRAQ
Let's see what evidence of this theory is actually found in the story.
Well, apparently, they did "random interviews" with "more than 20 Iraqis." More than 20?! Cancel the recount, the numbers are in!
One of the pessimistic Iraqis was Huda Hadi. So I guess she's an example of optimism ebbing, until the Times notes SHE BOYCOTTED THE ELECTION TO BEGIN WITH.
Overall, what did all these Iraqis believe? It turns out some were disappointed, some were hopeful, and some weren't sure. Wow, who knew it was that bad.

I too have performed a survey: one blogger insists that today is Friday, February 18; one anonymous commentator declares today Tuesday, February 15; tomorrow's interviewees will likely vary between Wednesday, February 16, and uncertain. One wonders if this indicates cultural anxiety, or simple social diversity. Vast, deeply provocative article to follow.
