    Positive in spirit, hundreds of voters flowed into Sanaa's old town section Tuesday to cast ballots to replace Yemen's longtime ruler Ali Abdullah Saleh.

    Nope. It's a 1 candidate system. That's a bit different.

    Can't believe the idiot is still in charge. He and Assad are the leftovers from the Year of the Dictators. 2012 is Year of the Kings.

    That sucks. Though I'd add just slightly worse than a 2 party system. The Founders were against parties. Early on the President was the #1 vote and Vice was the #2 vote. Though the lack of a party died quickly.

    Pay attention Mike! It's apparently only Democrats that want to start wars.

    For 2012, absolutely. Seeing how long it's taking some of the dictators to lose power, might bleed (pun intended) over into 2013 for all the Kings to lose power.

    No. It means that you are taking a systemic problem and trying to turn it into a party ideological issue.
