Translation from MSMSpeak: Mugabe is going to steal the electon.

ZANU-PF will fix the results so they come out on top. Guaranteed. The people who run the Election Commission will see to it the farcial "recount" erases the apparent opposition win.

Jimmy Carter will surely announce everything has been handled far better than is possible in the United States and that, whatever the results, it should stand as an example for all the world to follow.

According to an article I read earlier this week, a recount is explicitly unconstitutional. The only legal thing for Mugabe to do is release the results, and if no one recieved 50%, then go to a runoff. This is way beyond the constitution now.

Who says he cared about the constitution? The ZEC never released the presidential results. A recount in blatant violation of the law means only one thing: Mugabe lost and they're seeking to reverse the result.

["The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) will recount all votes cast in the March 29 election next Saturday, the state media has said."]

The reason for the recount is that Mugabi lost big time, just like Gore n 2000. In both cases, the usurpers were seeking to "handle the ballots". The insidious Democrats have brought us that much closer to a third world dictatorship. God, I hate them so.

Mugabe like a good RAT is going to count and recount and recount ‘em again and again until the count comes out right, that is until he wins then the counting stops. Mayor Daly must be beaming up for the pits of h*ll at this turn of events. Kind of reminds me of the elections out in Washington state and the one in LA-LA land that put B1 Bob out of office, no recount if the PC people win.

"If Brown is the world, sure, he will lose patience. I know Brown as a little tiny dot on this planet," he said.

Yeah, I didn't think Brown expressing his displeasure would have much impact.

I’m sure Mugabe will release the results and I’m also sure they will show that he won a resounding victory. Dictators always win resounding victories.

I'm sure they can cook up the requisite votes on behalf of the President For Life. No surprise there.

Where is a good marksman and a "30 ot 6" when we really need them? The guy has destroyed one of the most beautiful places on earth and still has to power to make it worse. It is a global shame.

What a dumb communist dictator! Didn't he know he was supposed to rig the election from the start? Did he think he actually had a chance to win a real election? And where the hell was “Jimmuh Cahtur” during this fiasco?

A recount before the original vote count is announced — why didn’t Al Gore think of that!

All Bore is not as smart as Robert Mugabe, simple as that!

(sigh) Jimmy Carter...who ever would have thought that an American president would turn out to be such an anti-American, pro-terrorist nutcase?
