The new constitution passed by a 4-1 margin among those voting. I suspect the anti-Bush crowd, determined to find a cloud in every silver lining, will point to its overwhelming rejection in two provinces as a Serious Problem.
Indeed, since 78.59 percent of a 63 percent turnout works out to 49.5% of the eligible voters, I'm wondering how long it will be before the nay-sayers start pointing out that the majority of Iraq did not approve the new Constitution.

I find it hard to believe that the three different ethnic groups that comprise Iraq will give up their favorite activity of the last 5,000 years: Slashing each others throats. What are they going to do now? Write the other guys name on a blackboard or give them a recess detention? Yeah, sure.- Quantumthought
