Iraqi Elections in January Might be Rigged? NO! Not Possible!

Eric Margolis has suggested that the election of Hamid Karzai was rigged and that the upcoming elections in Iraq might similarly be rigged.
Of course, those who are always credulous refuse to believe that perhaps there is something fundamentally amiss (other than it "not going perfect") in an election where every candidate except the one who went on to win boycotted the election?
