COMMENTS: Shopping in Shorja
Dateline Baghdad: both NBC's Richard Engel and CBS' Elizabeth Palmer filed a final preview of Iraq's parliamentary elections. Just as Miguel Marquez did on Thursday for ABC, Palmer enjoyed the once-bombed Shorja Market, now "revitalized" and "again bustling with shoppers." Palmer pointed to Ayad Allawi, a former prime minister, and Nouri al-Maliki, the incumbent, as the major contenders to run a nation that still lacks basic services such as garbage collection and household electricity. "No one is expected to win outright," noted Engel. He predicted six months of horse trading as the parties jockey for power in a coalition government.
