You are correct....this was way down in ¶ 31:
Palestinian pollsters were at a loss to explain the discrepancy between the exit polls and the reality. It may have been partly due to a reluctance by some voters to admit to pollsters that they were abandoning the ruling party

And, as 2004 taught us, exit polls don't mean diddly.

The heat from a nuclear explosion is approx 300,000 degrees C. Heat required to turn silica (sand) into glass is 1985 degrees C. Middle East = Glass parking lot. We're running short of parking space.

Actually I think it will soften Hamas, however what it does to the Palastinians as a whole is more iffy.

What does a politician do more than anything while in power, he tries to stay in power. Therefore I believe they will not want to take a hard stance on anything, even Israel.

Like Iran's new President from the hard liners took a softer stance?

And the violence will probably grow...

And the breakdown will continue till they are at each others throats more than anyone elses...

These people don't know peace. Not even if its with each other.

Angry police stormed the parliament building in Gaza and armed militants marched into Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' compound in Ramallah to demonstrate their rejection of Hamas' authority. Their defiance raised fears of a spike in violence between Palestinian factions.
