Giant Game of Leapfrog

Both entertaining and suspense-building, these election tallies, which now have Allawi back in the lead. It will be hard to see how each of the two leading contenders can continue to claim fraud and irregularities when they pull ahead. Still, any such allegation should be investigated.
