The red ink they use to mark the voters' fingers makes them look as if their hands are stained with blood.

Sez,

"Did he win?"

Just in case, I think Mugabe should bring in Katherine Harris for a re-count! ;-)

Heh. It's like old Robert Mugabe, The Most Recent Last King of Scotland, has taken a page from the EU's Lisbon Treaty playbook - "keep voting til you get it right."

taka: This is what happens when the fate of countries is decided by what we read in the press. A month ago they blasted Mugabe for a sham of an election. "Ignore them!" the cried. We catagorically refuse to recognize these bogus elections they said. They were neither free nor fair. Then the results started to come in and the so-called opposition was claiming landslide wins in all districts. "Democracy prevails in Zimbabwe!" the song changed, "Mugabe is gone!".

Guess what? This was the first time they ever called and election fair in Zimbabwe - even the first election in 1980 which the British oversaw.

SO Mugabe decided to go with their 'not free, not fair' claims. Surprise how quickly George Soros can forget. Tsvangirai is suych a traitor that regardless of who sits his fat butt on the throne he'll never last a week.

Perhaps Mugabe could just create a position of Prime Minister and run the country from there a la Putin, who has made a travesty of democracy in Russia.
