Rick,

I’ll stick with the 75% range. Your point re criminals is well taken but I suspect the Afghan phenomenon– people denied a normal, decent, human life for decades showing their absolute determination to grab at the chance for such a life, as represented by elections– will repeat itself here.

I recall the MSM, esp Krugman, pissing heavily on turnout projections in Afghanistan as well. Funny, but no one predicted the Ukrainians would rise up against their own fascist thugs, either. Come to think of it, I recall my poli sci profs insisting that Poles and other Soviet Bloc nations would never rise up against their totalitarian overlords….

I’ll bet on democracy, thanks.
