Some Iraqi politicians speculate that the Shi'ites may even offer the presidency to a prominent Sunni--possibly the incumbent, Ghazi al-Yawer. (Others have suggested that it's the Kurds' turn to get the presidency, making Jalal Talabani the front runner.) Sunni political parties like the Iraqi Islamic Party have indicated that they may be open to some such accommodation if the terms are right...
...Allawi that voting will be impossible in "pockets" of insurgent violence underscores the likelihood that the legitimacy - and finality - of the results will be questioned by important constituencies inside Iraq, and in its neighborhood. The repeated requests by moderate Sunni (and even some Kurdish) leaders, including Sunni interim president Ghazi al-Yawer, for postponement of the polls has positioned them to question its outcome.

Before his appointment, a poll asked Iraqis to rank 17 political figures in order of popularity. Al-Yawer came...
...city. Whether or not this claim was true at the time, if the dust settles on a city destroyed in order to weed out Zarqawi and his band of foreign fighters and they are nowhere to be found, Iraqis may be inclined to agree with acting President Ghazi al-Yawer's warning that launching a full-scale invasion of Fallujah because of Zarqawi and his band would be like shooting a horse in order to kill the fly on its back. Moreover, in the course of the battle, Arab TV channels showed Americans, rather than Iraqis in charge...
