...postponed. On the other hand, Agha Wali, 32, says he's sure polling stations will be safe and that he plans to vote for Ashraf Ghani, the policy-oriented former Finance Minister. Shafiqa, 21, insists through the cloak of her burqa that she will cast a vote to re-elect Karzai "no matter how bad" the situation is on Thursday.

Experts say Bunning could still raise enough money; since McConnell's famed money machine was working overtime for his own campaign, and the party also just endured a bruising (and losing) 2007 campaign to re-elect former Gov.
