...address Iraqis' overriding concern with security. The strong favorite according to most analysts is the United Iraq Alliance, a group led by Shiite religious parties (although including a wide range of mostly Shiite independents) grouped together at the behest of Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, and campaigning with his tacit support. To counter its chief rival's use of TV, the UIA looks to rely on grassroots organization around the mosques, and on endorsement by the clergy - and given the fact of Iraq's Shiite majority, whose relative weight will be amplified by the anticipated widespread Sunni boycott...
...initiated by Yushchenko, and the SBU agreed to it in good faith to discuss how to keep [anticipated street protests] under control in case of rigged elections." A key Yushchenko staffer says that Smeshko made it clear at the dinner that the SBU would remain neutral - which amounted to tacit support for Yushchenko.

Some shows use just a snippet, but The West Wing and Without a Trace let it play for minutes over their season finales, a tacit admission that neither the writers nor the actors could convey their characters' emotions as well as Buckley. It's proof that in his brief life, Jeff Buckley did achieve some kind of grace...
During council presidential campaigns, many large room parties are thrown with the tacit approval of different candidates, and usually the candidates themselves make an appearance to try to sway voters. Yet these parties cannot be officially affiliated with candidates because their costs would take huge bites out of each campaign’s $100 war chest. In the same vein, campaigns would be hard-pressed to pay for armbands for supporters to wear, mini CD-ROMs with informational videos about each candidate or other small giveaways like bottle openers or even stickers with such a small budget. With each...
