First elections in the Pharaohs nation in 7000 years.

Mursal will win easily. Egypt has past the pan-arabism of Nasser and are more conservative islam. It's unfortunately bad timing for the opposition not only is he the face of the mubarak camp but the society in general has radically changed. It's definitely a walk in the park for mursal

[MoonLight1]

There is a talk of rigging the election in favor of Shafiq since the Army who control everything post Mubarak are in favour of Shafiq camp who will keep the status quo. This could destabilize Egypt and repeat the Algerian civil war scenario in 1992 when the Islamists won a landslide election, but was canceled by the army. I hope this does not happen.
