PA polls close: Initial results indicate Fatah victory

Damn, I didn't know that they were so strong in Pennsylvania.

[Semper Paratus]

Hamas still has thing or two to learn about ballot rigging.

When will Jimmuh give benediction over the results?

[jw777]

That's like a vote between Hitler and Stalin. Choose your reign of terror.

[jiggyboy]

Apparently the great majority of "Palestinians" who don't support terrorism have a zero percent turn-out rate.

[TitansAFC]

When will Jimmuh give benediction over the results?

He won't until they firmly commit to public condemnation of the United States and the Bush administration.

Since they still see that as a bad PR move ("okay to bash and attack Israel.....but we need America to think we're their frinds"). Jimmy will not get involved.

Now if Hugo Chavez were running for PM of the PA.........

[BMC1]

I don't understand how come they didn't learn to rig the vote. After all, Jimmy Carter is there to teach them.

[Little Ray]

Neither side has finished stuffing ballot boxes, waylaying election workers, or assinating rivals. We'll see when its over.

[Semper Paratus]

Right, Hugo Chavez took a couple of days to get the results right then had Jimmuh come in to raise his hand.

[forYourChildrenVote4Bush]

"...When will Jimmuh give benediction over the results?..."

As soon as he is done stuffing those ballot boxes....

[SkyPilot]

Does this skirt make me look Fatah?

[Fresh Wind]

Hello mullah, hello fatah
Here I am at camp jihada...

[NormsRevenge]

Thanks. That one was bouncing around in my head, for some reason. ;-),

[W1_hooyah]

"Hello mullah, hello fatah
Here I am at camp jihada..."


Very clever, FreshWind.

[Just A Nobody]

LOL!

[COBOL2Java]

Oh, whew! I first thought the headline meant "Pennsylvania Polls Close" with a Fatah victory. Oh, no! Sharia in Pennsylvania already? :0)

[TheBrotherhood]

>PA polls close: Initial results indicate Fatah victory

Is this good or bad?

I don't follow Palestinian elections.

[tomahawk]

Not so fast:

Palestinian official to Ynet: Initial results showing Hamas ahead



A Palestinian official told Ynet that the Islamic group Hamas is leading rivals Fatah in the parliamentary elections by a slim margin, despite exit polls showing the ruling party ahead with 42 percent to 35 for Hamas

[oldleft]

Lesser of two evils.

Kind of like asking which better, al-Qaeda or the Baath Party.
