1. The anecdotal evidence from Zim is that Tsvangirai obtained about 60% of the vote. The tally from the officially posted results at election districts shows 50.3%. Either way, looks like a runoff may not be necessary .

2. Well, maybe MDC will be corrupt, too. But we KNOW that ZANU-PF is corrupt and inept, so replacing them with something else would seem apt.

3. Colonialism.

1. “In a democracy, the winners win and the losers lose.”

In a democracy, sometimes the winners don’t win by the margin required to avoid a runoff election.

2. “and replace him with people who would look out for the people’s best interests.”

How did you come to such certain knowledge — from half the world away — of the character of the opposition parties? When Mugabe is replaced, and the new government turns out to corrupt and ruinous, too, will you retract this seemingly baseless statement?

3. Any comment on Zimbabwe that doesn’t mention colonialism seems woefully inadequate to me.
