        Until the bombing, the conservative Popular Party was projected by most polls to beat the Socialists, although perhaps without retaining their majority in the 350-seat Congress of Deputies. - RobVG - 3/15/2004 12:35:17 AM
        
        The Spanish government backed the US-led invasion of Iraq last year despite polls showing 90% opposition to it from the Spanish public. - Bowser - 3/15/2004 2:21:19 AM
        
        I know you're not saying that they should forgo the voting and stick with the polls. - Bowser - 3/15/2004 12:44:59 AM

        Could you drop the politics for one minute and look at the fact the outcome of the election was changed by the bombing. - RobVG - 3/15/2004 1:15:58 AM
