Division among Iraq's Shiites good news for Allawi (AP)

Supporters of anti-American radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr cast their votes in Baghdad, Iraq, Friday, April 2, 2010. Supporters are turning up for a self-styled referendum on the nation's next prime minister. The voting on Friday and Saturday has no legal authority but it is widely seen as a way for the cleric to back someone other than his archenemy, incumbent Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
