So, the center-left candidate, Prodi, has won a very narrow victory over the conservative Berlusconi. Berlusconi wants the votes recounted. Bears a certain similarity to 2000 in the US...
I imagine the American and international left will condemn Prodi for stealing this election, and always refer back to it, for as long as he's Prime Minister, just like they did with Bush... Right?
Yeah.
Sometimes elections are tight. Prodi won. I like how Berlusconi has our back in Iraq, far more than many other European leaders. He still lost. The election wasn't stolen.
