Actually, if Sunni participation was at that number, I think that's a very good sign. Much higher than I'd have thought. All in all, I'm impressed that the people turned out like they did, and it is a signal to the insurgents that they do not enjoy the support that they think they have. The number of casualties, while high, is quite a bit less than I would have imagined, given all the posturing and threats from the terrorists. I hope they are able to pull it and keep it together, for their sakes and ours.
